Deprivation in occupied Germany immediately after WW2 seems greater than that in most occupied countries under the Nazis. Are the Allied victors guilty as charged, of major malpractices? For a long period, the peace proved more deadly than the fiercest battle. German deaths from malnutrition and starvation exceeded the sum of its soldiers, sailors and airmen killed in action. After the war, the victorious Allies are rightfully accused of as much graft, corruption and duplicity as they accused Germany of, before and during the war.
