Default Help with a phrase...

Hi,

Sorry I'm new here so if I've put this in the wrong section please inform me. I basically want help making a part of a sentence sound a bit more sophisticated. (I'm not sure if it's even correct english at the moment)

Basically, it's this...

"In the chaotic climate of German occupation, little was of much clarity to anyone"

It's more the end i'm concerned about. Hopefully you get what i'm trying to convey so any suggestions as to how I can rephrase it would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Drew.
