Thank you, Nick, regarding oil from Libya.


I think people underestimate the German ability to produce synthetic fuel and lubricants. Since the treasuries of occupied countries had been looted, monies gained were diverted to other projects.
A bit harder to pin down is the smuggling of various things into Germany from countries that were neutral during the war. Tungsten from Spain and Portugal was one item, even though both countries were bringing it in through regular channels.
