[JonS]

both the german oil production figures come from normandy 1944 by nicklas zetterling.

Um, yeah, I'm afraid my old friend Niklas seems to have dropped the ball twice now. In any case, German production is only part of the picture, there is also other Axis production besides Romania as well as the stickier wicket of consumption, which not only included the German armed forces, but their allies and their civilian minions and occupied Europeans as well. A delve into some of the Fischer Tropsch Archive of Allied oil intelligence is illuminating to say the least.

Cheers!

Just because it's in a book does not mean its right. Stephen Ambrose comes to mind.

Remember that as Germany became more and more de-mechanized, the demand went down also.

in 43 the ger produ8ced 8.9 million tons of oil this number includes both imports and syn fuel prodcuion. in 44 it declined by 30%. this proves that rumoian oil fields which they lost in late 43 was not extremly important for ger.
