I was looking for some historical article for my project and found THIS on internet as news article.

In Berlin, after World War II, money was short, supplies were tight, and it seemed like everyone was hungry. At that time, people were telling the tale of a young woman who saw a blind man picking his way through a crowd. The two started to talk. The man asked her for a favor: could she deliver the letter to the address on the envelope? Well, it was on her way home, so she agreed.

She started out to deliver the message, when she turned around to see if there was anything else the blind man needed. But she spotted him hurrying through the crowd without his smoked glasses or white cane. She was, naturally, suspicious, so she went to the police.

When the police paid a visit to the address on the envelope, they made a gruesome discovery, three butchers had been harvesting human flesh and selling it to the starving people.

And what was in the envelope the man gave to the woman? A note, saying simply “This is the last one I am sending you today.”

Could this be true?

    For some reason it rings a bell. I thought it might have been connected to that Albert Fish nut bag.

    So you are saying that the Germans weren't just gassing the jews, but were cooking them to feed the population as well? Hey, anything is possible.

    Could be but sounds suspiciously like an urban legend. What was the news source? That's relevant in assessing accuracy

    The story isn't listed on the Snopes site, which does an excellent job of debunking urban legends, scams and so on, but that doesn't mean it's true.

    It's highly probable there was cannibalism, but whether there was an organised racket of the type you describe: who knows?
