This is the dynamite I like to read.

Splendid Za!

I wonder if the Fuhrer had any personal view on sending forth refineries or how he was going to extract usable fuel from the region.

After all the german industry was geared up to use synth. fuels. Would they have any machines that could ave helped them out, or would they have to nick equipment from Ploesti?

Does anybody know who made the machinery in Ploesti? Perhaps the Germans did?

If not, then the Germans were truly utterly inapt at strategic planning.

The only solution to attack in the south would be to conquer airfields to attack the oilfields. And damage the USSR indirectly.

Tsk tsk tsk.
