Clearly, the harsh treatment scheme of Germans extended beyond the borders of Germany proper. International aid societies were barred from bringing in food aid and the US military distributed little, allowing millions of tons to sit undistributed in warehouses -- by design.
Morgenthau, a Jew, was deeply racist against Germans and wanted to destroy the country, turning it into an industrially-stripped landscape of farm laborers disallowed from building another military.
Popular histories claim that the Plan was never implemented. Actually it was for two years, from 1945 to 1947, before it was rescinded. In that duration, at least 1.5 million Germans died related to malnutrition, including a catastrophic infant mortality rate.
It's very clear to me this policy extended to ethnic Germans in the East such as my mother and her family who fled the Red Army's advance in Eastern Europe and ended up in the American Zone in Austria. My mother lived in a Displaced Person's camp in Austria for the latter half of her childhood. She described to me grinding hunger and severe food shortages including sometimes not eating for days at a time.
And that the US Army had millions of tons of high-protein meal packs sitting undistributed in warehouses speaks for itself. Clearly, the Roosevelt Administration felt it acceptable to starve my mother and her family for nearly a decade. The malnutrition my mother suffered was severe enough that it caused the loss of ALL of her teeth - and that malnutrition was artificially imposed by design.
My mother and her family passed through Germany on the way to the US in the early 1950s and my mother never forgot how the country was still bombed out. People were still living in rubble, hungry, years after the war.
But hey they were Germans so they aren't victims. Pass the mythological gas chambers, Zionist narratives, fake small pox blanket stories and traumatized victims of segregated toilets.

"Mr. Morgenthau prefers Germans as peasants because as a class the German peasant “took the Nazi virus later and in a somewhat milder form” than the rest of the population. Actually, it was the other way around: the overwhelming majority of the industrial working class provided the most stubborn and consistent opposition to the Nazis, while most of the peasants did in fact vote for Hitler. This is demonstrated by the 1932-33 election results."
Morgenthau thought of Germans as an evil monolith. The Nazis never even got 50% of the vote. Amusing thing is, the US and UK firebombed those industrial working class communities as part of the plan to break the industrial base and local resistance.
The common view is that the Morgenthau Plan was never put into effect, but according to the book I'm reading, it was actually policy for 2 years, until July 11, 1947.
A very interesting aspect of this is that 9 months before the Morgenthau Plan was drawn up, the issue of deindustrializing Germany was raised by Stalin, and Harry Dexter White - a known Soviet espionage agent even at the time to the FBI - was a main architect behind the Morgenthau Plan. The FBI had warned FDR multiple times in writing about White, FDR laughed it off and after several of those warnings, appointed White to be executive director of the IMF, which is an international agency which was immune from FBI investigations.
According to Morgenthau's son, "Morgenthau himself had a long harbored an admiration for the Soviets. Like many liberals in the post-World War I era, he had a rather romantic view of the Soviets as liberators of the Russian people from czarist tyranny. Furthermore, many Russian Jews had supported the revolution and held top positions in the Lenin regime, although these Jews, along with Christians, had renounced their religion in favor of the new secular faith. My father had taken the lead in negotiating the resumption of US-USSR diplomatic relations."
