Bust out my spiciest one for rule. If it offends the moderation, than so be it.

    Wikipedia says:

    The Morgenthau Plan was a proposal to weaken Germany following World War II by eliminating its arms industry and removing or destroying other key industries basic to military strength. This included the removal or destruction of all industrial plants and equipment in the Ruhr. It was first proposed by United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. in a 1944 memorandum entitled Suggested Post-Surrender Program for Germany.[1]

    That would’ve just crippled the economy and not done much about the Nazis…?
