I recall at a conference hearing a Polish scholar say that his father,
a railroad worker during the Nazi occupation, received vodka for good
work.  Providing alcohol to occupied populations had many
complications.  Did drunkenness encourage rebellion or acquiescence?
As in the example cited, could it be used to enforce good behavior?
Did Nazi policy vary from country to country?
