Time reported a high U.S. official as saying "It is the most incredible, calculated thing since the days of the Nazis in Poland."Bangladeshi authorities claim that 3 million people were killed,while the Hamoodur Rahman Commission, an official Pakistan Government investigation, put the figure as low as 26,000 civilian casualties.The international media and reference books in English have also published figures which vary greatly from 200,000 to 3,000,000 for Bangladesh as a whole.
