Are you for real?
First, the movie's based on a true story: google "operation Bernhard" or read Adolf Burger's memoirs "the devil's workshop".
Second, some 11 million men, women and children were deliberately murdered by the Nazis: 6 million Jews, 5 million others (gypsies, political opponents, the mentally and physically handicapped, Slavic ppl, Russian POWs, gays etc etc). Those who weren't murdered right away were used as Slaves until they died of starvation/illness/filth.
And those 11 Millions don't include all the Russians who died either in battle or of starvation in the former Soviet Union e.g. during the siege of Leningrad.
So sure, not all victims were Jews, but all Jews were victims!
And are you honestly comparing the systematic elimination of entire groups with collateral damage due to bombings?
The Allies didn't *intend* to kill 40 000 French, and to this day I've heard many French ppl testifying how terrifying those bombing s were but NONE complaining about them! The (decent) French ppl couldn't wait for D-day to happen, despite the inevitable casualties. And the Allies were greeted as liberators!
Your scale is off: between 1941 and 1945 the US lost less than 500.000 men total (incl Asia), overwhelmingly Military.
If half (250.000) were killed in Europe, that's the same # of handicapped ppl deliberately exterminated by Hitler BEFORE WW2 even began!
