The origin of both dataset seems to be the same but I can't check Duncker und Humblot. It looks like their dataset do add Czechoslovakia Protectorate with Altreich, Upper Silesia and Austria while my total do not (as it is part of occupied countries like Polish General Government, Belgium, Northern France, Meurthe & Moselle district, and Netherlands - Note: all French districts are not controlled: Central & Southern France production - Vichy zone - is not included into those tables at all).Andy H wrote: You posted the following:-I found this whilst looking into German production figures regarding Allied bombing thread etc etcHere is a first table showing the total German controlled Steel output from 1938 to 1944:

These differences are quite marked at
1941: 3,589
1942: 3,384
1943: 4,041
1944: 2,646
respectively, and in total equalling 13,660 x 1,000 metric tons
Are your figures a more upto date than that of Milwards reproduction of the earlier German work?
