March l~PointlnI to oil as the Achilles heel of the Ger- man forces, the “Soviet war news" (in London) estimated that the Nazi army's oil consumption. which smounted to 00.000 tons a. month m the campaign that. crushed. France, had risen to 1,500,000 tons in the Russian campaign and that do- mestic needs boosted that total to 2.000.000 tons monthly. The Germans were said to have obtained only 11,000,000 tons of oil lust year of which Rumania fur- nlshed half. synthetic plants 4.000,- tons and other sources 1,500,000. "The result is that the Germans are having to dig into their reserves’ to the extent o! 1.000.000 tons each month in order to sustain operations of their mechanized units and air force," the publication said. "Evidence from the front shows whnt this means in terms of actual fighting. German tanks have been forced to dig in. losing their mo- bllity which is their most import- ant asset. Because of the lack of oil, whole divisions have had to travel on foot from Germany to the soviet front."
