Morgenthau Plan
Journalist Drew Pearson publicized the plan on 21 September 1944, although Pearson himself was sympathetic to it. More critical stories in the "New York Times" and "The Wall Street Journal" quickly followed. Joseph Goebbels used the Morgenthau Plan in his propaganda. Goebbels said that "The Jew Morgenthau" wanted to make Germany into a giant potato patch. The headline of the "Völkischer Beobachter" stated, "Roosevelt and Churchill Agree to Jewish Murder Plan!"
