You're right, of course, Nerd, there are many differences. Those you have mentioned and: One particular reason that the German children were comparably well fed was that the Germans took everything they could get from the occupied countries. They didn't mind starving prisoners and people in occupied countries as long as their own were fed.

What I had in mind was only this: That number mentioned in the first post doesn't mean anything really and is in no menaingful connection to the theme of the thread. That's why I cited another meaningless figure.
