Is there any way that US Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau's proposed 1944 economic plan for the post-war elimination of Germany's heavy industry, and the reduction of Germany to purely an agricultural nation, could've eventuated during the occupation and reconstruction of the country from 1945 onwards ? How would subsequent events such as the Cold War's start, Denazification, the Marshall Plan and West German rearmament have been affected by the adoption of Morgenthau's plan ?
