В Германии не было нефтеперерабатывающей промышленности, бомбили Румынию в р-не Плоешти
By March 1944, German refined fuels from crude oil primarily came from five sources: oil fields in the vicinity of Hamburg, Germany; the Prinzendorf field in the Vienna Basin; the Hungarian fields near Lake Balaton; the fields near Ploesti, Romania; and small fields in Estonia, Albania, and Poland.19 These crude oil resources remained on track to provide 2.048 million tons of finished fuel products in 1944.In addition to the limited refined products based on crude oil, Germany in 1944 was producing liquid refined fuel from coal, using the Bergius hydrogenation process and the Fischer-Tropsch synthe-sis process.20 The Bergius hydrogenation process produced high-quality gasoline suitable for use as an aviation fuel, while the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process produced high-quality diesel fuel, lubricating oil, and some low-quality gasoline that, when mixed with benzol or benzene, became suitable fuel for cars and trucks.21In 1944 Bergius hydrogenation plants stood ready to produce 3.780 million tons of fuel for the year, and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis plants would add another .508 million tons of fuel.22 Additionally, the Germans expected 65 benzol plants located near coal mines to produce 704,000 tons of benzol in 1944, over half designated for use as a fuel additive to increase gasoline octane levels and the remain-der for use in the nitrogen, ammunition, and synthetic rubber in-dustries.23 Germany anticipated synthetic production of 4.920 mil-lion tons of finished fuel products. From both its synthetic plants and refined crude, it expected to produce 7.040 million tons of re-fined fuels in 1944
