2. It was the first ever war with more civilian than military casualties. Compare that to the Battle of Gettysburg in the American civil war. More Americans died in three days than their war for independance, war of 1812, and war with Mexico combined, but only one civilian death. Granted, most civilian deaths in world war 2 were from bombing, but it would still be less than military if there weren't millions who starved in the Soviet Union, most during the winter of '42-'43, one of the coldest on record.
