For many people throughout the world, it is also a daily struggle to ensure survival. Food is very central to that, as the war disturbed the global trading networks and made export and import very difficult. This is why most governments implemented rationing. The natural extension of this seems to be the emergence of a black market, which has surprisingly many faces throughout the different countries. I personally found it also very fascinating to see how its participants managed to trick the various systems. Was there anything that surprised you to hear?
