Answer 1

I assume you are referring to the German people during the war. There wasn't rationing until 1941. The Nazis were reluctant at the beginning stages of the war, to impose rationing or even draft women to work in the military factories. Hitler, thought the war would be over before the end of 1941. After the setbacks on the eastern front, Hitler knew the war would continue much longer than they had anticipated, especially with the United States fighing with the British and Soviets. The Germans depended to a major extent, on importing foodstuffs from the east as well from France. The Nazis made sure that the civilians and the army would not go hungry, despite major defeats on all the fronts by 1943. Large numbers of civilians planted food gardens to help the war effort. By the end of 1944, there was mass starvation in some occupied countries, especially Holland. The Germans flooded the country, to slow the Allied advance and blockaded rail and trucks into Amsterdam and Rotterdam which caused much misery and suffering among the Dutch. Most Germans ate potatoes and beet soup and chicken and veal were the most common meat.

Most German children by 1943, in the large urban areas, like Berlin, Hamburg,

and Cologne, were sent by rail to the countryside, to escape allied bombing.

The children were the future of Germany, and much was done to protect them, as the war turned against Germany.
