These people all knew they were going to die, or at least they thought so. The ordinary circumstances that guide us no longer work for many people when they think they are going to be dead shortly. Perhaps this man, and his mistress, figured that they, and the wife, would never survive. I understand what you are saying and I don't condone this person's actions, but I do understand how they could come about in those conditions.

Also, when you are starving to death, not just hungry but starving, your brain doesn't function correctly any longer. Saving bread without eating it makes no sense, from that action alone one might conclude that the man in question was no longer functioning on all 8 cylinders so to speak, ditto his girlfriend and his wife.

That’s true... I didn’t consider the lapse in brain activity due to circumstances. Although they did meet at a party before the invasion and met again at the camp. That’s when they started the affair.
