Cannibalistic Nazis

Say the Nazis regard the Slavs and Jews as even less human and an attempt to improve logistics on the eastern front and free up farmers the Nazis start having troops eat Slavs and Jews and start shipping them back to Germany. Would something like improve German supply lines ,what would be the Soviet and international reaction during and post war .

I doubt that they would ideologically pursue... 'consumption' of the 'untermensch'. What would drive this societal cannibalism would need to be a practical purpose to have people sent to abattoirs, such as a harsh famine.

Reaction will not be a happy one. Reaction from Post-War Germans, upon discovering that the veal was not veal is going to be one of mass starvation, suicides, and existential horror for all. It won't be nice.
 
Hitler tries to eat Stalin, but chokes and dies. The governments of Nazi Germany and the USSR both collapse from the vacuum of leadership and are replaced by democracies who promptly issue a declaration that cannibalism is wrong.
 
What if a food shortage causes the Nazi's to result in eating their Jewish prisoners rather then just killing them?
 
Happens in The Red's Greece Holds: A Tale of a 3-Way Cold War, though the Nazis end up eating their own people.

Under Hitler's leadership, Heinrich Himmler had been arguably been the second most powerful man in the Reich and after the Fuhrers death it was of no surprise that he took over the lumbering nation. He had inherited the crown jewels, only to find them rotten and rusty from inside and out. He knew that Germany needed radical, immediate change or face falling into collapse.

The ideals of Lebensraum were axed. Germany was too weak, the Russians were too strong. The military cutbacks began by Hitler were even more drastic, the size of the armed forces was reduced to 1,000,000 men with a quarter of them becoming reservists. The vacant equipment would be sold to anyone who would buy. This turned out to be a large variety including South American dictators, arms dealers and secretly the Soviet Union and Peoples Republic of China. The soldiers dropped would become manual labourers for the duration of their service.

The high birthrates actively encouraged by Hitler are now dropped. Food is still scarce, the manual labour that many people have been forced into making them hungrier than before. If the population continued to increase there would be another famine. The Government grants to families of over 4 children were pulled and Abortion, Contraception and Euthanasia were made readily available. The legalisation of Euthanasia was taken to somewhat disturbingly in the tent cities, this was pinned on the high levels of Radiation sickness at the same time countless numbers of the residents were also arrested after accusation that these slums were being turned into communist states, many were executed for treachery. Soon they were broken up entirely with the remainder of people being rehoused. At the same time Germany enjoyed a large increase in Meat production. Himmler attributed this to the decline of radiation levels. The so-called "Meat Miracle" along with the decrease in population led to Himmler announcing that Germany was on a "solid road to reconstruction".

1. This is ASB. As hard as it is for people to contemplate, the Germans saw themselves as civilizing influences. The Jews were ghettoized and slaughtered in a very methodical way which put a veneer of crushing rebellion, then procuring necessary labor, then ridding these camps of disease and useless eaters, etcetera. To flat out start eating these people removes the veneer, which makes it completely impossible.

2. It is also worth noting that if cannibalism were to be pursued, they would not be feeding the German people human flesh. More likely, the camp inmates would be fed themselves (unknowingly of course). If you want to get really crazy, perhaps the Germans set up forward camps in the Ostfront and butcher the Jews, and then can them in stews in which to feed the Ukrainians and Belarussians. I can imagine rumors swirling around the cheaper German "food', especially when those who eat it start showing Book of Eli like side effects.

Lastly, butchering an animal is tough enough for some people, let alone doing it to human beings. It is hard to get people to want to shoot a bunch of Jews running in the streets. Harder yet to get them to walk in a gas chamber. Even harder yet to turn the knob which gases them. But only a very select few would actually butcher people in which to actually get usable meat.

It would probably be more costly to recruit the nut jobs who would be willing to do it then the "profit" you would get from doing it.

Uhmm, this is not intended as a personal attack but seriously???

I come here for serious discussions and I have learned lots of new things on this forum. So my question would be as follows:


What the fuckity fucking fuck is this thread meant to achieve??

This is not intended as thread crapping but I would love the OP to explain what kind of serious discussion he expects to follow from a question that is as morally disgusting as it is unrealistic??

If you want to talk about improving the logistics of the Heer on the Eastern front there are lots of options (99.998% much more realistic and less hideous than the OP) so why the hell choose cannibalism??

Sorry, but I find this whole premise equal parts disgusting, immature, and plain old stupid. I was hoping members on this board would be a bit better then this.

It does feel like the OP has only just heard about Kadaververwertungsanstalt and wants to see the logical extreme. Whilst not ASB, logistics wise it's fucking weird and would only be last resort in a Leningrad situation (and even then), and would only turn the population, both Civilian and Military, on the Government. Even harsh famines won't drive directly too Cannibalism, despite my initial comment, although the reaction of the German People is still likely.

Such a nice thread for Christmas, BTW. Really festive.

No "What if the Heer dressed as Santa" or "What if there was a Christmas Truce on the Eastern Front", but "What if the Nazi's re-purposed dead bodies because they're EVIL". Evil, yes, but not that Evil.
 
Lone German Army units and Red Army units cut off and starving were at times rumored to have eaten anything available including the dead, but to make it national policy though? Nope.

Can you imagine even the most hard core Prussian militarists saying sure we will accept a policy of eating our inferiors by order of our Leader?

Hitler was a staunch vegetarian and tried his best to get others to agree and be vegetarians as well. Ironically he was a pet lover and hated animal cruelty, so he obviously didn't consider humans to be animals, but still I think canabilism is too much for him considering his vegetarianism and think he's not going to allow this to happen or continue if he hears about it.

Along with Kadaververwertungsanstalt there are warlords in Africa that eat people because they believe it will give them magic powers and tribes in Ancient times that eat people to intimidate their enemies and because of lack of protein .i was curious of impact of something like this in Europe as state policy on European front of world war .besides we have had trends on worse holocaust,nuclear war
 
Not to play mod or anything, but I'm really not sure if ideas this vile and deranged should be posted on the board.

In any case, the average German is going to have trouble with the idea of eating the carcass of a Cat or Dog, let alone slaughtered enemy civilians, this is beyond even them. As for the Nazis themselves, I have a feeling that they'd think themselves far to civilized to stoop so low (in their eyes mind, the whole industrial genocide thing more or less had them at the bottom of the barrel already).
 
National policy is ASB to acheive, but an SS officer acting like Jeffrey Dahmer is within the realm of possibility.

Maybe you could have one extra-sadistic SS officer making the prisoners in his camp eat their fellow prisoners. Anything beyond that is ridiculous.

I wonder if the OP really thought of this as a serious question to discuss or just posting for the expected reaction when the topic is one country systematically eating millions of other people.

The Nazis have almost developed into mythological creatures, WWII ended over 70 years ago and they still have new shows about them on the History channel and things like that.
