A breakdown in civilization Anyone who reads James Bacque s documentation Other Losses,129 in which he describes the manner in which Eisenhower s soldiers allowed German soldiers to die miserably by the hundreds of thousands, after the war, in camps without any infrastructures of any kind, without barracks, without medical care, totally exposed to rain and cold weather, dying of starvation because they were deliberately deprived of food - food which was available in large quantities - must wonder whether the breakdown in civilization was, in actual fact, a German phenomenon, or whether, on the contrary, it occurred as the result of the actions of quite different people.
