Herbert Hoover, famed for his work in famine relief, says that 2,200 calories 'is a minimum in a
nation of healthy human beings.' - Ralph. F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest
University tests showed that a daily diet of less that 1,600 calories resulted in 25% weight loss, and let
to fainting, dizziness, and always cold so that even in summer they needed two blankets. Their hearts
shrank and three-quarters lost their ability to work. They became obsessed with the need for food."

THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL STATES:
"European adult males reduced to an intake of 1,400 to 1,700 calories for a period of six months will
suffer an ability to do only the lightest work, loss of mental concentration; apathy, depression, high
irritability. An increase in susceptibility to infection and contagious diseases. A population subjected
to such a low level of food supply might be expected to develop epidemics which might spread to
other nations."
The famine inflicted on the defeated German population by the victorious allies has ranged between
1,550 to a low of 1,180 per person per day. Herbert Hoover called it, "A grim and dangerous base ...
the children's health will become susceptible to disease. Many of the children and aged will fall by
the wayside."
FOOD LOCKED UP WHILE MILLIONS STARVED
"The greatest famine catastrophe of recent centuries is upon us in Central Europe. Our Government is
letting down the military government in the food deliveries it promised, although all that was asked
for was the barest minimum for survival of the people. We will be forced to reduce the rations from
1,550 calories to 1,000 or less. The few buds of democracy will be burned out in the agony of death
of the aged, the women and the children."
The British and we (the Americans) are going on record as the ones who let the Germans starve. The
Russians will release at the height of the famine substantial food stores they have locked up (300,000
to 400,000 tons of sugar, large quantities of potatoes).
Aside from the inhumanity involved, it is so criminally stupid to give such a performance of
incredible fumbling before the eyes of the world. It makes all the hard-working officers of the Office
of Military Government, Food and Agricultural Branch, ashamed."
Karl Brandt, Berlin, March 18th 1946
Note: Note the date, a full year after the war's end, and the incredible revelation that even the evil
Communist regime, was prepared to release held food stocks before the allies were.
A NATION DRIVEN TO MASS HYSTERIA
"The people hunger ... they are without the energy to trace the link of causes... there is growing as
though by psychological compulsion, a mass hysteria, with a thousand different symptoms... the
situation is reaching a generally psycho-pathological state, through chronic hunger. We are seeing
aberrations such as caravans in desert sands... they, the people, have only animal urges.
The explanation of this mass phenomenon, this mental and spiritual paralysis, is physical. They are
emaciated to the bone. Their clothes hang loose on their bodies, their lower extremities are like the
bones of a skeleton, their hands shake as though with palsy, the muscles of the arms are withered, the
