The Horror of the German People at the End of World War 2

In 1945, with the collapse of the Third Reich, millions of German civilians endured a true nightmare. Hunger became as deadly an enemy as the bombs: fields were devastated, reserves exhausted, and the rations imposed by the Allies barely allowed survival.

Children and the elderly died by the roadsides, victims of cold and malnutrition, while the ruined cities became scenes of looting, violence, and despair.
