No need to defend Germany's history. I'd quite happily ask the same Q with "Britons" in the title. FYI, did you know Germany also caused the Rwandan genocide of 1994 by creating the divide-and-conquer myth that either Hutus or Tutsis were descended from Europeans (I can't remember which they chose). They were peaceful before that.
My question is near-impossible to answer, but give it a shot rather than folding your arms.
Unrelated note: the flawed theory that a few "Nazis" were evil but the "Germans" somehow behaved fine during WWII is ridiculous and rearing its head here. There were not a few dozen evil men pulling the strings of millions of non-sentient puppets. You do not kill 10m+ defenceless people (c.50m inc. legit. targets) without million upon million of willing volunteers. The idea you can trace it all back to a few or one evil man, is essentially a theory of Evil, with a Devil sitting atop the tree. It absolves human nature, which is not that perfect.

That's so far the stupidest question I've read.
Ask how many Russians did Stalin kill,
how many German civilians did the American kill.
What with the Germans all the time. Shouldn't we get the facts about our own killings first. We know about the travesty of the Jews, the rest was war, Soldiers were not the enemies, the Nazi regime was the enemy. Did you know that on Christmas eve, the soldiers from the enemy?! got together with the American soldiers across the trenches and shared food and cigarettes.
The did the same what their country asked of them, whether they wanted to or not.
Let it f....g rest, its over 60 years ago, worry about the crap in Iraq.

Well, when they invaded russia, they had the jews dig holes, then stand next to them. The germans would then get their own soldiers drunk and kill these guys, hoping that these soldiers would not remember doing it. These guys were then thrown in the graves
But the concentration camps killed 11 million
6 million were Jews and 5 million were Gentiles

That is an ambiguous and wide open question that quite frankly is impossible to quantify. If you'll provide more parameters then it could be answered in an intelligent fashion.

Nazis killed millions upon millions of Innocent Jews, Pols and the like. The German people were just trying to survive. It is kind of like putting the Arab people in lock step with the Muslim extremests.

I agree with Frogface. Your question needs further explanation otherwise is so ambiguous as not to be able to answerer.
