The belief is held by many that German conquest of the oil in this region would win them the war.<\/p>\n<p>In his book <em>Wages of Destruction<\/em> historian Adam Tooze comments on the absurdity of this all. Here is what Tooze had to say about the assumption by Nazi synthetics industrialist Carl Krauch that he would be able to raise air fuel production to 3 million tons following the conquest of the Caucases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<p><em>Here was the perverse logic of Barbarossa in a nutshell. The conquest of the oilfields of the Caucasus, 2,000 kilometres deep in the Soviet Union, was not treated as the awesome military-industrial undertaking that it was. It was inserted as a precondition into another gargantuan industrial plan designed to allow the Luftwaffe to fight an air war, not against the Soviet Union, but against the looming air fleet of Britain and the United States.<\/em> p.452<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati....png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati...-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-69098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati...-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati...-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati...-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-17-at-12-43-23-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-Stalingrad-No-Retreat-\u2013-WW2-\u2013-164-\u2013-October-16-1942-Quotulati....png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 16 Oct 2021 The Americans win a naval victory off Guadalcanal and even manage to reinforce the Marines there with the first Army units to arrive, but as the week ends the Japanese launch a major offensive on the island.
