Contested deletion
[edit]This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... The Morgenthau Plan is an important subject in late WW2/Early Cold War History. Even after Morgenthau was gone, Bernstein kept it alive for two more years. From the Wiki page for the Morgenthau Plan...
"In occupied Germany Morgenthau left a direct legacy through what in OMGUS commonly were called "Morgenthau boys". These were U.S. Treasury officials whom Dwight D. Eisenhower has "loaned" in to the Army of occupation. These people ensured that the JCS 1067 was interpreted as strictly as possible. They were most active in the first crucial months of the occupation, but continued their activities for almost two years following the resignation of Morgenthau in mid 1945 and some time later also of their leader Colonel Bernard Bernstein, who was "the repository of the Morgenthau spirit in the army of occupation".[49]"
