Bodies in the rubble of destroyed cities (an estimated 75,000 to 60f 000 stOI remain" in the nuns); did not present a disease breeding problem. The German explanation was: the body Is not a carrief of disease since putrefaction destroys any ; disease-supporting agent; the corpse was not a breeding place for flies because few flies existed in the bombed and burned .areas; did not Increase because decay of the body "is usually in such an advanced state that the rats prefer other foods which are plentiful as a consequence of destruction." Bombing destroyed food process ing plants, storage facilities and, most, important. of all. the trans portation needed for food distri bution. It is not possible now to state exactly in what measure the curtailment of the national diet contributed to the ultimate defeat of Germany. but it was an im portant factor."
