Episode description

Michael Portillo discovers an American porposal for post war Germany called the Morgenthau plan. Its punative measures aimed at deindustrialising Germany and making it a 'giant potato patch' unable to wage war. It's very different from the Marshall plan we all remember but it was signed by President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
