You mean wrong in starting what's essentially a WW2 "who is the worse committer of atrocities" thread in a Roman History forum? The opinions of several of the moderators is a resounding "Yes!". We were not taken in by your "--and a comparison to Rome", Tim. That appears to be just an attempt at validating a thread that has made several people very uncomfortable, and brings out the worst things in others.
Please don't do that sort of thing again. It's true that there are people on the forum who are also interested in and sometimes reenact in other historical settings, including WW2. There are forums for those time frames from which you can glean much more information. We try here for escape from the "Anti-[whatever]" conversations, as much as possible, particularly when dealing with things that occurred 1500 years after Rome ceased to be the world power in the West.
Take the hint, if you will, please.
The next time you INTENTIONALLY take a statement I made out of context like you just did here I will ask that the moderators either reprimand or ban you.
I am not saying they will act but by doing this you greatly insult what I think is a very good scholarly forum.
