I've seen a number of reactions to this, even from people who have watched / reacted to every firefly episode and nobody seems to pick up on the fact that Nathan Fillion is the first (mistaken) Private Ryan with the brothers in grammar school...

27mln is a number of Soldiers + Civilians which still is huuge, compared to US, Chinese also lost giant amount of people, percentage wise Poland lost 25% of population in WW2 but number wise Soviets, Chinese are top in terms of numbers. US didn't lose much soldier-wise BUT their land-lease program for UK and Soviets mainly, helped them win the war drastically, the amount of equipment, trucks, guns, tanks, aircraft, food and other stuff US provided to Soviets were so enormous both UK and Soviets were paying it off till the 90's. Enemy at the Gates its maybe not the greatest movie but it shows really well what was happening in eastern front.

Starting with Platoon, I think war movies have tried to do a better job being more realistic and close to history. This one is fictional, but showed realistic scenarios. I get you about not learning enough history in H.S., same with me, and other Americans don't feel bad about that.

Gruesome movie but it’s crazy when you think about how the U.S lost about 400k soldiers in the war while the Soviet Union lost around 27million soldiers + civilians combined. The US doesn’t really teach it well that they were the biggest reason Hitler and Germany fell.
