Re: Looking for recommendations on books on the air war against Reich oil production
I do not remember the exact figure, but Niklas Zetterling pointed out in his book "Normandy 1944" that even before the war German oil production (and consumption) was minuscule in comparison with US figures. As far as consumption goes, true even today. Us economy would probably collapse if the US gasoline price rose to European levels (currently some 100 % increase).
