What are the ball park figures?

Funny how most of those maladies didn't affect Allied POWs nor was there any evidence of mass starvation, medical experimentation, gas chambers (oh, did I mention captured records from IG Farben & Bayer showed Zylon gas was delivered to all the "popular resorts" (according to you) by the tons?
