 　On the Eastern Front of World War II, Russian children faced starvation and starvation. Nazi German troops confiscated food and were forbidden to feed Russian civilians as “incomprehensible humanity. Nazi Germany adopted a plan on April 29, 1941 to starve the Soviet people by stealing Soviet land and food and providing a complete food supply exclusively for German troops.

　　During World War II, it was primarily the Soviet Union that suffered from massive starvation and starvation deaths. Approximately 20 to 25 million Russian citizens died of starvation and starvation-related diseases. In Britain, an effective rationing system ensured “fair” food rationing throughout the war. In Germany, the famine conditions of 1918-1919 were not replicated. Japan faced semi-starvation at the end of the war. In Europe, famine mortality was low, except in Greece and the Soviet Union. In the Orient, in Bengal, Henan, and Java, 3-5% of the population died. During World War II, famine-related deaths equaled or exceeded military losses. During World War II, food rationing reflected the definition of “need.” Military personnel and those engaged in hard labor were given extra calories, while women and children were given miniscule, fewer calories.

　　During World War II, only the Soviet Union suffered from mass starvation and starvation deaths. Many people died of starvation and starvation in the occupied Soviet Union. The Nazi Germans did not realize their starvation plan to expel 30 million people from grain-surplus areas in early 1941 to starve them out. The invasion of the Soviet Union in the weeks of June 1941 resulted in the deaths of approximately 4 million people due to the brutal requisitioning of Nazi German forces in the occupied territories. About 7 million Soviet citizens died of starvation and famine in the occupied territories. Ukraine and Belarus suffered, especially Ukraine, which lost more than 3 million people, or nearly 8% of its total population, to famine and starvation. At least one million people also died in the Soviet city of Leningrad, which was blockaded by Nazi German troops.
