Hi marcos; Re: "It was years after V-E day before euros ate full rations. ... he said he never ever had any trouble whatsoever with the locals ..."

Yes, the German occupation of 1946 was hungry, but the locals weren't killing off our guys with "improvised explosive devices". And God's simple truth is that they were a [Douglas] Heck of a lot hungrier in early 1945 than they were in early 1946.
