An estimated 20 million citizens of the Soviet Union were killed by the Germans. Eleven million people died in German concentration camps, six million Jews and another five million non-Jews, such as Poles, political opponents, the Roma, the handicapped and the mentally ill. The Germans also killed millions of people in the areas that they controlled. The goal was to destroy the morale of the British people and soften up the country for a German invasion. The Germans bombed London and other cities in Britain early in the war. In both cases, the war of terror on civilians was begun by the Axis countries. In addition, attacks on civilians were used to terrorize the opponents and break their will to resist. Many of these targets were in civilian areas. Thus, factories and means of transportation were considered legitimate targets. The Second World War was a “total war” in which the entire economy and all scientific and industrial capacities of the combatants were harnessed to the war effort.
