According to Wikipedia:
5 to 7 million Jews, based on Nazi documentation, with total murdered coming to 9 to 11 million, "though some estimates have been as high as 26 million."
I don't think this takes into account the millions of civilians killed on the Russian Front by the advancing German armies.
And if Hitler had allowed his generals to prosecute the war Russia would have been knocked out in 1941 with the fall of Moscow, although most scholars believe that Stalin would have kept his army fighting from the Urals. But with the bulk of Soviet industrial and farm lands in German hands it would have been a tough fight. The German army was halted by the Russian winter withing sight of the Kremlin! The month that they lost because of Hitler's poor decisions cost them the war.
