World War II

Abstract

Second World War, that lasted between 1939-1945 and resulted in the death of millions of people, takes its place in the dusty and dark pages of history with its causes, consequences, and outcomes. Difficult times experienced by millions of people affected during the war, both on the front and among the peoples, were also manifested by food shortages and malnutrition. While the particulars taking place in these difficult times are known in detail by many people living in the world, here in this chapter, the gastronomic events in the background are discussed. Foods that could be found and eaten during the war, rationing, food in Nazi concentration camps, and some foods that stood out during this bloody war are discussed in detail.
