Heh, trying to get the Germans to drink fizzy-water. I’ll bet that worked out really well.

I've long been fascinated by questions such as: how did the Nazis do so well in the beginning, but then fail in the end?

Well.... hmmmmmm... could this be the real reason?

You know, the Germans are a stoic people, accustomed to hardships and long suffering. In extreme conditions they can tolerate pretty much anything, and still continue to function.

But they will not tolerate the absence of beer -- or even inadequate beer. So, I predict that if the Nazis try to deprive them, they will find their unbeatable blitz-krieg machine suddenly bogged down in the mud and unable to move anywhere, except homeward... ;-)
