The Shocking Food, Rations & Hygiene of Nazi Germany During WWII

What was food, rationing and hygiene really like in Nazi Germany during the Second World War? This documentary tells the full and disturbing story, not as a curiosity, but as critical history. The Nazi regime worked to keep ordinary German civilians fed with ration cards, ersatz coffee and propaganda like One-Pot Sunday, but it did so by plundering occupied Europe and deliberately starving millions of others to death. We examine the German ration system and substitute foods alongside the moral truth behind them: the Hunger Plan, the mass starvation of Soviet prisoners of war, and the engineered starvation and disease inflicted in the ghettos and camps. This video in no way endorses the Nazi regime; it is presented to inform and to honour the memory of its millions of victims. If you want an honest, sober account of how the Nazi state turned food and hunger into a weapon, watch to the end.
