Hi Richard,

Here are a few more resources, in case you weren't already aware of them. Unfortunately, none provide coverage as extensive and complete as what you're looking for.

1) "Die Luftoffensive gegen die deutsche Triebstoffindustrie und der Abwehreinsatz 1944-1945" by Werner Girbig (also published as "Mit Kurs auf Leuna")
Lists all the attacks against the German fuel industry in the last two years of the war. Similar to the Wiki page that Ed linked to, but contains detailed accounts of approx. 30 major raids, including maps and listings of the Luftwaffe units involved (at the Gruppe level) with their losses and claims. The focus is on the aerial encounters, but the narrative also mentions how each raid affected production capacity. Includes a couple of graphs showing the negative correlation between fuel production and bomb tonnage dropped.

2) "Germany and the Second World War, Volume VII" by Horst Boog, et al.
Part I (453 pages) covers the strategic air war in Europe, with about 20 pages devoted to the transport and fuel offensives. Good overview, with a large bibliography.

3) "Der Luftkrieg" by Georg Feuchter
Just a handful of pages on the oil offensive, but he does provide monthly fuel production figures for 1944 and 1945.

Hope that helps,
Leon Venter
