I wouldn't say the societes were "insensitive to losses". It's just that anyone who expressed their views would be killed/imprisoned.

- anovikov 13y agoNo there were. A lot of people volunteered knowing they will be almost certainly killed. In a democratic country it wasn't possible. And it was the main reason why so many people were killed - they were prepared to die and kill (purges of the 1930s, on both sides, devalued the human life, it was okay to report your neighbor to NKVD knowing he will be shot just out of jealousity). WWII is a crime of totalitarian regimes - on all sides - and is a lesson to learn that totalitarianism is unacceptable and never makes anyone happy.
