Why do you believe 1940's Germany is worse than China? 2.5 million people already died as a direct result from Mao's Great Leap Forward, with another 40 million (!) dying from famine during that same period, caused by said cultural revolution.

Nazi Germany was not the greatest loss of life by a government.
