Morgenthau Plan
The in late 1944 approved and signed version of the Morgenthau plan for the coming occupation of Germany concluded: "is looking forward to converting Germany into a country primarily agricultural and pastoral in its character." News of the plan were leaked to the press. Joseph Goebbels said that "The Jew Morgenthau" wanted to make Germany into a giant potato patch. Goebbels used the Morgenthau Plan for his propaganda machine extensively. The headline of the "Völkischer Beobachter" stated, "ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL AGREE TO JEWISH MURDER PLAN!"
