Germany has 12% unemployment, and 25% unemployment in Berlin. I guess the occupation of Germany failed.
LOL. When Germany is the 255th largest economy in the world & most of its people are subsistence farmers, and Germany's president rules only Berlin, and warlords control the rest of the country, then you can come back and say the occupation failed.
Truman was a genius.
Germany was far from being stable a couple years after the war. Fortunately, the population was of a western culture, literate, and skilled. Also, loads of western/soviet troops staring at each other across the border didnt hurt either in terms of settling it down. None the less, attacks on american personnel and infrastructure by the germans did occur for several years, as did Nazi re-ecucation camps.
