Use of Metals in the War Shows Massive German War Effort
A German expert compiles metal use statistics from 45 months of war. If Germanys iron and steel were forged into a ring around the equator, each meter would weigh 30 hundredweight. A wall along a 2500 mile front, yard high and thick, would weigh 200 hundredweight per yard. Germany reportedly sent more guns to the front weekly than were used in the Franco Prussian War, and some hours consumed more than in the earlier conflict. The moral: such production was possible because Germany had secured global markets before the war, enabling its dominance over rivals.
