Those figures do put things in perspective, indeed. I'd just like to point out that the U.S. actually lost approx. 400,000 people "only" (50x less than what the Russians lost).
The Lithuanians lost 13% of their population, too. However, in relative terms, the Poles were the ones who suffered the most: 16% of their population. And I am not talking about Auschwitz and other concentration camps only. I remember visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising ) a couple of years ago, and it was a disturbing experience.
