Some WW II tables

My new book has lots of tables. Too many, probably. But I do love a good table. Or a mediocre one. Even a bad one. I'm sure the book has some of those.

Here are a couple I added this week. relating to beer production straddling the years of WW II. Sadly, only for a small selection of countries.

Quite easy to spot which countries were on the winning side.
