...evidence is plain in the great plants which dot the countryside, or lie just outside the devastated cities. The Krupp plant in the center of Essen is a classic example of what bombing can do: a waste of shattered walls, twisted girders, rusting steel. Yet the main Krupp foundry at Rheinhausen is virtually untouched. With other Krupp plants, it could turn out 60% of Krupp's normal steel production...
