CHAPTER 1261 And so the Allies had a big trial at Nuremberg,
2 And found out that nobody was aresponsible for killing the Jews,
3 bBecause everybody was only following orders,
4 Which meant that it wasn't their fault,
5 cBecause how were they supposed to know that it was wrong,
6 And that there are some things you just don't do,
7 Ever,
8 Even if you're a Kraut?
9 After thinking it all over very carefully,
10 dThe Allies hanged a bunch of Krauts for not disobeying their orders,
11 But stopped short of hanging all of them,
12 Because if there weren't any Krauts left,
13 eHow would the European economy ever recover,
14 fAnd generate enough cash to buy stuff from the Yanks?
CHAPTER 1271 Meanwhile, the Marshall Plan was also turning out to be a big success in Japan.
2 Because gGeneral MacArthur became the military governor,
3 hAnd wrote a constitution for the Nips,
4 iAnd taught them all about the American Way,
5 jMeaning no more sneak attacks,
6 Because,
7 kRemember Hiroshima?
8 lAnd when they had learned about the American Way at last,
9 The Nips smiled and nodded,
10 And showed everyone,

11 In every possible way,
12 mHow friendly and reformed and civilized they were,
13 nAnd how they had no more interest in killing two thousand Yanks in a sneak attack,
14 oWhen it would be so much more fun to make a bunch of cheap shoddy trinkets instead.
CHAPTER 1281 Back home in America, things were going pretty well overall,
2 Although there weren't any houses for the returning troops to live in,
3 And not enough colleges and universities for them to go to,
4 pAnd not enough cars and things for them to buy,
5 Which meant that the Yanks were going to have to get busy and make a whole bunch of things,
6 qNot to mention money,
7 rWhich they knew how to do,
8 Because they were Yanks,
9 sAnd there wasn't anything Yanks couldn't do,
10 tBecause they were the best and the bravest and the smartest and the nicest world power in the whole history of mankind,
11 Bar none,
12 As any of the Yanks could have told you,
13 uBecause the Yanks have always been such great students of history and world affairs,
14 Even if they couldn't spell v"Mesopotamia" to save their lives.
CHAPTER 1291 Things weren't going quite as well for wPresident Truman, though,
