Did Nazi Germany and/or any of Nazi Germany's Axis allies experience a food shortage during World War II?
Yes. Both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan experienced large scale food shortage. For Nazi Germany, they actually had plentiful food for most of the war. Large scale imports from all over conquered Europe, as well as their conquered Soviet land, gave them plentiful food. However, as they lost ground in late 1943 and early 1944 meat and dairy products became harder to find, but grains were still plentiful, so in many areas meat-free rations such as soup and butter-less bread were free. Massive imports from countries such as France kept grains plentiful and form countries such as Norway kept fish plentiful. However, as even these countries became conquered, Germany became more and more starved of food, to the extent that during the Battle of Berlin many citizens slaughtered horses for meat. Japan became hungry from mid 1943 onward, as American submarines began to sink food ships. However, the army still had food, as they received priority of food supplies. Army units continued to be well supplied throughout the empire, while Japan also increased imports from the shortest route, China-Korea-Japan, allowing a slight increase in early-mid 1944. However, this soon dipped downwards again. One Chinese survivor said that he knew the Japanese had lost when he saw some Japanese troops based in China spit out their rations cos it had turned moldy. Japan faced widespread starvation in 1945, comparable to Germany 1918, and its estimated had she not surrendered the entire country would starve to death by Dec 1945-Jan 1946. Italy too faced some levels of hunger due to the large civil war in its borders, but the disruption to food supply was often at where the front was. Germany's Balkan allies too faced some form of disruption, but this was often temporary and due to Red Army units pillaging the land for food.

Does Germany have Skittles?
Skittles: No, we don't have them. I actually saw them at a gas station here which sold them for a couple of months when the US Army still had a base here, but they stopped selling them because the Army guys could get them at the PX, and Skittles are, IMHO, just not made for German taste buds. Too sweet, too artificial, and what are they, anyway? I had them two or three times during my time in the US, but after I had proofed to myself that they really are like they are, I just never looked at them again. We do have Jelly beans though, in contrary to what one of the other answerer said. True, not every supermarket has them, and most easily you get them at big department stores, where you can buy the flavors separately (pretty much like in an old fashioned candy store). In recent years it has become more easy to get Oreos and stuff, and the marsh mellow chicks (which look cute, everybody who bought them said, but which look too artificially yellow to look anything like one would be tempted to eat. And those who did try said they were just sweet, anyways, and... but that's just my clique, I guess. There are numerous people who buy them, or stores wouldn't still have them.) There are some differences in what we can buy over here vs. what you can buy over in the US. I have never seen Nutter Butters over here (in Germany, that is), for instance. No almond M&Ms', either. Chips flavors are also something I would really recommend for the German industry to research on the American market. What I think is cute to send back home from the US when one is here for a long time are Hershey's Kisses and Hugs (which are not available in Germany), but just because of the gesture, not because the chocolate would "Wow" anyone in Germany. We do have a whole lot of different chocolate flavors, and German chocolate is to die for (as you can see if you research "German chocolate" on Y!A!), and we also have a crazy amount of different "Haribo" gummi sweets. I do miss the wide variety of "Ben and Jerries" ice cream flavors. While Ben and Jerries is available, not every store has them, and mostly it's only the same 6 flavors, and my favorite is not among them. So I do miss that. So, just to give you an insight. Most of the US Stuff is sold here, too, and it's nothing special, but some things are just... well, not for the German market, I guess... Anyway, happy snacking now! (Gee, that made me miss some stuff...)
What foods did Germans eat during World War 2?
Normal food.Believe it or not Germany took some notes from WW1. One of them was how to feed your population(for Dummies).Nazi Germany “imported” foodstuff and “volunteer” labour from conquered territories to feed the Reich.*Germans didn't starve until the last months of the war. There was no second Turnip Winter.*all Ukrainian and Polish casualties acceptable and desired
Nazi Germany's addition of sodium fluoride into the drinking water in concentration camps is well known, so...
why on earth do we allow this very toxic substance in our drinking water? This toxic waste product of the aluminum (and other)industries would be very expensive to treat so they have conned us into believing that it is good for our teeth !! - and sell it at a 20 000% markup. Now, here in Queensland Australia, they have decided to make mandatory the addition of sodium fluoride - 'the Lunatic Drug'. telling everyone that it is for our benefit. Sodium fluoride has been banned from drinking water by the more enlightened countries as Sweden, Holland, Finland, France, Germany and Japan; even Britain has suspended it's use. SF reduces the resistance of the masses to domination, control and loss of liberty - and where else is this more obvious than in the US? Hitler said : "Tell a lie long enough and loud enough and the masses will come to believe it". Don't take my word for it - look it up. So I ask again - why do we allow this criminal insanity to go on - unapposed?
What are 3 things you associate with Germany?
This is for people who are not taking any German classes. Simply name 3 things you yourself associate with Germany. BUT, I'm not going to stop there. In addition, name 3 things you think non-Americans associate with America. (BTW, I'm doing this for my German class, as you probably figured out already.)
How much and how often should I feed my 10 week old German Shepherd puppy?
Your breeder should have given you a rough guide what to expect. It also depends on the food (as someone else mentioned). Read the bag for a guide. The food should be gradually increased as they grow. One person indicated - to leave the pup on the same amount from 10 weeks until they are 10 months!? Absolutely ludicrouis!! Especially with a breed that has so much growing to do. Looking at your dog is the best gauge. If they are looking a bit heavy - cut back the food a bit. If they start looking a bit too lean - increase the amount. You will have to do small adjustments often, during the high growth period over the next few months. But there will be an increase in the amount you have to feed. For a while it may seem like you are feeding a bottomless pit. But do not allow you pup to become fat, at any time. Better to have them on the lean side, especially while they are young. Once they start slowing in growth (10-12 months), the food will be cut back again. My current Dobe cost me a fortune in food until she was about 11 months old. Then suddenly she started filling out when the growth slowed. Now as an adult dog she only gets about the same amount as when she was tiny like your dog!! As far as frequency 3 times per day as you currently do is good at this age. Then cut it back to 2 times per day as he gets older. 4 times per day is a lot - Most people work and would find that difficult. He will be fine on 3 meals per day.
