Crimes and Mercies The Fate of German Civilians Under Allied Occupation, 1944-1950

Soon after their victory in 1945, the Allies of World War Two began to commit horrific war crimes against the defeated Germans. Yet at the same time they set up the greatest famine relief initiative in the history of the world. Of all the peoples in the world, only the Germans were victimized, only the Germans were excluded at first, from these mercies. The relief organized by former president of the United States Herbert Hoover and by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King saved the lives of 800 million people around the world, including, finally, many Germans who had been dying of starvation forced on them by the Allies, before the USA and Canada stepped in.Bacque, James is the author of 'Crimes and Mercies The Fate of German Civilians Under Allied Occupation, 1944-1950', published 2007 under ISBN 9780889225671 and ISBN 0889225672.
