So an Army marches on its stomach?
Came across this odd little fact in "Dirty Little Secrets of World War II"
In 1943 all 4.4 million pairs of scissors produced in occupied Europe were requisitioned for the use of the German armored forces. The Germans also requisitioned some 6.2 million stamp pads to help them keep all of their paperwork in proper order. It's worth noting that the strength of the German armed forcs at the time was only about 7 million.
Hmmmmm!
