...some ways, the prescriptions may seem unremarkable. Generals, history shows, have plied their troops with medicinal palliatives at least since George Washington ordered rum rations at Valley Forge.

The Nazi blitzkrieg flushes the Lecters out of the family estate and into the woods, where they survive by foraging. In the devastating winter of 1944-45, with the country starving, some army deserters with Nazi tendencies kill Hannibal's parents and round up the local children. "We have to eat or die," one deserter tells them - the kids are to be killed, cooked...
