'During the Second World War food supplies were, of course, restricted, but the same disastrous situation as had arisen during the First World War did not arise again, and according to Baade in his book Brot fur ganz Europa {Bread for the Whole of Europe) there was sufficient food during the Second World War to provide the 350 million people of blockaded continental Europe with almost 3,000 calories a day each - though, of course, it was not always possible to distribute the available foodstuffs satisfactorily and uniformly. It was only during the last few chaotic weeks of the war that rations sank to the bare existence minimum of 1,800 calories a day. This time the actual hunger period came after the war had ended, when as a result of the Morgenthau Plan the occupation powers prevented Germany from feeding herself for several years.’ -The Bombing of Germany by Hans Rumpf
