Episode notes

In September 1944, despite over half a year still remaining in World War II, the Allies began preparing for an eventual post-war world.

One of the biggest questions being discussed was what to do with Germany. After two world wars with Germany in just a quarter century, no one wanted a third.

One American official developed a plan that would basically destroy Germany as a modern country to prevent them from ever making war again.

Learn more about the Morgenthau Plan and the attempt to destroy Germany on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
