Thanks. Of course, all this is unknown even to the grandchildren of the Germans who suffered through this winter and the two following ones. The Germans, with our help, rebuilt their country brick by brick during the next fifteen or twenty years. So amazing was their succes that thee same grandchildren enjoyy such luxury that they do not wish to share it with their own children. The German race is dying out as more and more Germans spend their wealth on luxuries instead of on the future.

According to my interpreter on a few trips to Russia a few years ago, the Germans also (re)built quite a few buildings in the Soviet Union as well e.g Moscow State Univ, when I pointed out the construction dates were postwar (1946-50, something like that)he just smiled and said "We had work for the POWs to do before they went home" !
