My question is, why wasn’t this uncovered in 1945-47? There was a vigorous conservative press in those days, such as the Hearst and McCormick papers. There were influential people, such as George Marshall and Herbert Hoover, who stopped the Morgenthau Plan, that would have protested loudly had there been a visible plot to kill German POWs by starvation and exposure. Additionally, numerous GIs on the ground would have testified on such a plot. A huge number of the American military were of German ancestry; German-Americans outnumber Americans of British or Irish descent. Would they not have protested a mass murder plan against their kinsmen?

Same reason we do not get the truth about anything now. The press is controlled, opposition is extorted into silence, and witness sources are discredited and destroyed. Nothing has changed and we see it daily.
