Anotácia knihy

This title connects oil, war, and power in a historical context that has contemporary resonance. It offers a critical interpretation of primary and secondary sources to shed new light on oil's role in World War II. It shows the Nazi quest for oil as a primary German war aim. As Hitler's Einsatzgruppen (mobile SS killing units) marched into the Soviet Union directly behind the advancing Wehrmacht to murder Jews and others, less well-known units were also following in the footsteps of the German armed forces. They were called, among other things, petroleum units, petroleum commissions, or technical brigades. Their mission was to seize and exploit the oil-producing areas of the conquered territories. Following the pillaging of oil in Poland, France, and the Low Countries, these predatory units were the latest examples of Nazi Germany's relentless efforts before and during World War II to achieve self-sufficiency in fuel. But only in the East - first in the Soviet Union and then in the Middle East - could Hitler find sufficient quantities of oil to free Germany of all external dependency and to provide the resources he needed to wage war indefinitely. In this prodigiously researched study, Dietrich Eichholtz tells the story of Nazi Germany's plans to establish a global oil empire, from the plan's inception in 1938 to its collapse in 1943.
