Book Reviews of After the Reich
Book Review: A Partial Indictment
Summary: 2 Stars
After the Reich got good reviews partly because reviewers were unaware of the book's inaccuracies. MacDonogh says that a quarter of a million Germans were massacred in Czechoslovakia. A German-Czech commission said that it was 10,000. The figure of two million Germans dying in the postwar expulsions is also badly out of date. MacDonogh's figure for the number of prisoners who died in the open air enclosures is four times the official German estimate. When he accuses the Allies of starving Germans,Macdonogh
leaves out two things: in 1946 the British and American zones were getting over a quarter of a million tons of food per month and in 1947 Washington promised 3.6 million tons of food for Germany. His claim that four million Germans were deported to the Soviet Union is lifted from the highly unreliable book Gruesome Harvest. Soviet sources put the number at less than a tenth of that,German sources at less than a quarter of it. For all that,much of Macdonogh's data is true.
