Description
During World War II, millions of Soviet soldiers in German captivity died of hunger and starvation. Their fate was not the unexpected consequence of a war that took longer than anticipated. It was the calculated strategy of a small group of economic planners around Herbert Backe, the second Reich Minister for Food and Agriculture. The mass murder of Soviet soldiers and civilians by Nazi food policy has not yet received much attention, but this book is about to change that.Food played a central political role for the Nazi regime and served as the foundation of a racial ideology that justified the murder of millions of Jews, prisoners of war, and Slavs. This book is the first to vividly and comprehensively address the topic of food during the Third Reich. It examines the economics of food production and consumption in Nazi Germany, as well as its use as a justification for war and as a tool for genocide. Offering another perspective on the Nazi regime’s desire for domination, Gesine Gerhard sheds light on an often-overlooked part of their scheme and brings into focus the very important role food played in the course of the Second World War.

Hitler's biggest fear was running out of food. Germany had witnessed starvation in World War I, which sapped the morale of the people. The Nazis were determined that this would never happen again. Much time and effort went into sustaining a romanticized version of agrarian life as most wholesome to the mythical Aryan race. The blood of millions would be shed and billions of Deutsch marks spent trying to occupy the Ukraine--the Breadbasket of Europe. And those who did not agree with the Nazi plan were methodically deprived of food, the chief weapon of mass genocide. While those who agreed were treated to cake, butter, and life itself. When the cakes disappeared, the people knew the gig was up--the war lost.
