Скачать или смотреть Herbert Backe and the Nazi Hunger Plan

This video offers a concise overview of Nazi food policy, spotlighting Herbert Backe—the chief architect of the Hunger Plan—and his decisive role in shaping the Third Reich’s approach to food production, distribution, and rationing.

We examine how food functioned inside Nazi ideology, trace the evolution of nutrition and agricultural policy under Nazi rule, and explore Backe’s relationship with his predecessor at the Ministry of Food, Richard Walther Darré. We also look at how science and expertise were mobilized to legitimize policy.

Finally, we address Backe’s postwar reflections and tragic demise, and connect this history to today’s debates on food justice, blockade famine, and the politics of scarcity.
