Dislocation of European Railways Hampers German War Efforts
A Ministry of Economic Warfare spokesman says Allied bombing has halted the Cologne to Bay of Biscay rail corridor for 100 miles, crippling German rail assembly capacity. Passenger and goods trains lack timetables, with 40 000 to 50 000 skilled workers diverted from inside the Reich, worsening shortages and delays across Europe including the Balkans and the Romanian front. Partisans in Yugoslavia attack trains as chrome and copper ore pile up from Turkey without transport.
