[QUOTE="Injured Soldier, post: 8024640, member: 21305"] Agrippa is right, much of Germany's fuel supplies during WWII were from the Ploesti oil fields in Romania. A third of Germany's oil came from seven refineries spread over 19 square miles in this region north of Bucharest. Much of Germany's Mediterranean strategy was to keep these fields out of range of Allied bombers, the operation in Crete is one such example of invading places for this reason when they had little stategic value otherwise. Still, the Americans bombed Ploesti once every year from 1942 until the Red Army took Ploesti in August 1944. The synthetic plants were targets of the Allied bombing campaign over Germany, and we all know how Germany fared in that respect in WWII. [/QUOTE]
