German POWs Were Astonished By The Food Servings Behind Barbed Wire

Описание: ANALYSIS: The Geneva Convention required that prisoners of war be given rations equivalent to their captor's non-combat troops. For the United States, with its immense agricultural production, this policy had an unintended strategic consequence: it became a powerful tool of psychological warfare against the Axis powers.


We examine intelligence reports that confirm this material superiority had a significant demoralizing effect on German soldiers. This is a report on how America's agricultural might became a key, if quiet, weapon in the Allied arsenal during World War II.

Production Note: This analysis is enhanced with AI tools for data visualization and narrative clarity, allowing for a more detailed breakdown of historical records.
