That might just be possible. At the end of the war all of Europe was in ruins and there was no functioning government in many countries. The Allies not only had to feed their own men, but also the entire civilian population and also Allied armies.

What comes around goes around. I'm currently reading a book that takes about the mistakes of WWII (I'm always reading some kind of WWII book or another) and the book just mentioned the Russian front and how when entire armies surrendered that no one was able to feed them. It just wasn't something anyone was prepared to do.
