Leipzig, Germany - Spring 1945
So the Americans have freed them from their latest prison, but they're not quite out of the hole yet. It's just their luck that as soon as they find some real food, the stomachs that have sustained themselves on mere scraps for months can no longer tolerate such rich morsels.
I was also mildly surprised that the liberated actually raided a factory. I guess that I suspected the camps would have instilled a near permanent sense of... almost humbleness, but not quite. More like helplessness. Or maybe it was just that sheer need to survive. At least some of the scavengers found new clothing. It was well deserved.

- ah the joys of malnutrition followed by bingeing. i've seen taht happen on survivor when i watched it. it made me giggle a little bit. i mean you think it'd be common knowledge that eating like that is a bad idea? that they need to grow accustomed to such foods/amounts again?
ReplyDelete- and the looting... i think its kinda the same idea as the over eating. it kinda makes me think of americans post-great depression. everyone became a pack rat becuase they didnt know if it was gonna happen again.
