Food Rationing In Venezuela

[harrypalmer]

Any idea how many people had their 'stash' seized? I'm not talking about farmers et al, but Joe Public..My grand parents told me that hording etc was rife with WW2 ordinary folk. Remember too that back then many people kept animals ranging from chickens to pigs; not country folk but city people.

A book by Harry Patch (The Last Fighting Tommy ) who survived WW1 and served in more civilian roles in WW2 said that if something was not nailed down it got nicked... well worth a read.
