I think this needs to be cleared up more. Thomas you say "Many western historians had criticized the sowjet numbers of 4 Million" but I can't find this anywhere. Can you show where you got that information from please also was the number of 4.1 million commonly believed in the west before the revised number or 1.1 and did the Poles believe 9 million died? Can we find some links that clearly explain this miscalculation in numbers. When I do a google search into the question all I get are holocaust denier web sites which I refuse to read.

Read the article http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opferzahlen_der_Konzentrationslager_Auschwitz and look for the referenced books. Thomas Maierhofer (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
