More painful to the Germans than all this promise of trouble was the loss of the great captured empire which was to feed Germany's factories and her people. Gone were the oil of the Caucasus, the wheat of the Ukraine, the coal of the Donets basin. Now, at Nikopol, the Germans lost more than half of the manganese used by their industry. When the iron of Kirvoi Rog is lost, Hitler's fond dream of military and economic self-sufficiency in Russia would come...

But 100-octane production is far behind the aviation demands caused by the stepped-up bombing of Germany, despite a frantic expansion program. If airplane needs get too far ahead of the expansion, then "feed stocks" will have to be cut back, and the petroleum-butadiene program hobbled again...
