The British also implemented inflation policies during the war aimed at making more resources available for Allied troops. These policies, along with other economic measures, created the “forced transferences of purchasing power” to the military from ordinary people, reducing their food consumption.

Sure, but not ordering millions to die when you could have not is different.
I agree.
