More on how Americans thought we did in occupying Germany at the time

Today, when we look at Germany, we know the occupation and reconstruction after World War 2 was a success. At the time however, Americans were convinced we had lost the occupation and lost the peace. The first blog reminding us of our past views, reprinted an article from Life Magazine in January 1946.

Now, comes another article from the Saturday Evening Post dated January 26, 1946 which says the same thing. See it at Instapundit.com. Don’t forget, the war ended in 1945 and 58 years later, we are still occupying Germany. Does that mean the occupation was not a success? We have around 100,000 troops there, yet I don’t hear anybody saying we should bring the troops home, NOBODY. (Hat tip to OpinionJournal.com Best of the Web).
