production for civilian needs and
available supplies are bound to be
destroyed in air raids, Germany re-
portedly has launched its fourth
collection of warm clothing for
soldiers at the front. for the Sec
end time seizing furs and other
heavy animal skins to shield the
soldiers who must stand guard,
even in l5-minute stretches, III
Russias s icy winter nights
The death penalty for anyone
committing sabotage in a clothing
factory indicated the terrible urg-
ency German officials attached to
this phase of war production.
The British economic experts also
predicted a severe strain on Ger
manys Gil stocks this winter, prob
ably affecting industrial output.
They said Germany had been cred
tied with sufficient oil reserves to
meet both army and industrial
needs for two winters-civilian oil
needs are virtually ignored since
the start of the War-but that this
winter the Germans were expected
To have only enough oil for mill
tary requirements.
The captured Russian oil fields
in the northern Caucasus and else
where in occupied Russia were not
expected to yield any supplies to
the Germans for at least six to
eight months, due to the thorough
ness of the Russian 'Scorched
earth" technique.
