How bad was it after World War II?

Some people are happy and others are sad. The defeated German and Italian women fell into an atmosphere of despair. Most Axis soldiers died or became prisoners in the war. Millions of men will never set foot on the land of the motherland again, even if they are alive, they will have to wait for many years to come back.

A British general once wrote in his diary: "When I walk on the streets of Germany, the most common picture is that there are almost no adult men on the streets." It seems that this place belongs to women, old people and children.

In many parts of Europe, generations of young women are faced with the embarrassing situation of dying alone, and most men died in the war. In the Soviet Union after World War II, there were more women than men130,000. The most obvious manifestation is that in rural areas, women work in the fields, hardworking and brave!

If the war turns Europe into a continent of women, then this land is also a paradise lost for children. After the war, many children separated from their families began to flee everywhere, and some children chose to join groups and seek self-protection.

1946, there were nearly 200,000 street children in Rome and Milan. Forced by life, they have to sleep in corridors and aisles and make a living by stealing and begging every day. Helpless eyes and wandering aimlessly, these children are the "abandoned children" of life.

At that time, there was a term called "war orphan". In Poland, there are more than 654.38 million "war orphans". A boy from Warsaw, Poland has been to several refugee camps. He said: "I have only seen men with fathers here. Men are rare animals. It seems that there are no rare animals. "

Losing a loved one will make a normal person eccentric. The whole society and even the nation cannot escape the baptism of war. The Second World War not only hurt Europe, but also made Europe lose its way forward.
