Allied Officers Agree
War Could Haze Lasted

ed on a mountainside across the
river.
The Ebensee area activities. as
elsewhere, were uncovered by aeri
al reconnaissance but Allied air
forces deemed bombing unneces
sary before the plants started pro
ducing.
German aircraft production
above ground was regarded as as
founding in view of the heavy AL
lied raids on both great and small
manufacturing centers.
Air experts believe attacks on pc
troleum and transportation, aided
by the near-obliteration of vital in.
dustries like bali bearings, were
mortal blows to Hitler's war ma
chine. The actual production of air
craft, however, ranged just below
half of the total planned.
Here are some figures on the
actual, compared with the planned
production of one and two-enginec
conventional and all types of jet
aircraft: July, 1943 $50 and 1900;
January, 1914, $50 and 1000; July
1914, 1870 and 3,1Oo; November
1914, 2,420 and $500 January, 1915
1920 and $500.
The highest production of jet air
craft was $50 in February, 1915
Since that type had top priority
the output could have risen rapidly
The jets carried the threat of con
siderable potential danger to the
Allied effort but presented no prob
lem which the Allies were not pre-.
pared to meet.

BERLIN, July 16-4P(-Allied and
enemy officers are generally
agreed that the war would have
lasted longer and been much tough
er if Nazi Germany had strartee
her underground aircraft and oil
production program six to II
months earlier.
American officials say the under.
, ground plants were virtually invul-
nerable and air assaults would nee.
essarily been directed against feed
er factories, transportation and
storages of finished products. They
assert that while the final outcome
would have been the same, the Air
Forces would have had consider
ably greater opposition and more
diversified task.
One officer said the subterranean
industry would have had to be
starved to death, just as the Nazi
military machine died of thirst for
petroleum.
Full details of the German under
ground system have not yet been
released but two major types OF
construction have been shown to
touring aviation writers.
The type previously described
was a low cost, easily-c CONSTRUCTED
semi underground plant intended
principally as an aircraft assembly
unit.
A prime example of this was an
installation at Muhldorf, near' 7un-
ich, one of seven such projct :, in
tended for the assembly of Messer-
schmidts 262s, a twin-engine, jet
propelled fighter which could be
converted to bomber and reconnais-
sance use.
The other type is an underground
factory blasted into the mountain
side, such as that at Ebensee, Aus
tria, near Salzburg where petrole-
UNI now is produced for the Allies

aircraft assembly plant had not
been started.
He explained the major shortage
was manpower, and that only 5000
slave laborers were available while
10000 were needed.
The Ebensee plant started pro-
duction last February. It is cur
rently producing only 500 tons daily
because of inability to get more
crude oil. Peak capacity is rated at
100000 tons annually which would
make it the largest crude refinery
in the Reich. The output was brok-
en- into 10 per cent. gasoline, 35
per cent diesel oil, s per cent para
fine, 10 per cent asphalt, 10 per
cent heating oil and 20 per cent
lubricants. A cave for high octane
gasoline production had been start

The agency said many distribu-
