First I will compare the Territorial size of some nations

Germany (1937)=183,276 mi^2
Germany (1945)=137,822 mi^2

Poland (1937)=149,965 mi^2
Poland (1945)=121,757 mi^2

Romania (1937)=113,919 mi^2
Romania (1945)=91,699 mi^2

Bulgaria (1937)=39,825 mi^2
Bulgaria (1945)=42,855 mi^2

Lithuania (1937)=21,330 mi^2
Lithuania (1945)=25,212 mi^2

Now for Deported/Murdered Civilians (1943-1947) from historic territories taken over by Russia or it's puppets

Germany-12,400,000 deported of whom 2,630,000 were killed

Poland-8,495,000 deported of whom 3,380,000 were killed

Romania-1,654,000 deported of whom 215,000 were killed

Japan-1,000,000 deported, few killed

Bulgaria-790,000 deported of whom 103,000 were killed

Finland-450,000 deported few killed

Austrians from former Austrian Lands=4,900,000 of whom 850,000 were killed

Also, information on the changing size of the nations can be found at: http//www.library.uu.nl/wesp/populstat/populhome.html

Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
