London reports Allied air attacks have strained German industry for four years. Steel output fell from 25 million tons earlier in the war to 89.5 percent of peak by May, oil reserves are tight, and rail and tank production decline. Germany relies on Romanian and synthetic oil, with power limits impeding further synthetic fuel growth. Locomotives and aircraft output drop, while submarine production rises modestly.
