Question: What did Thuringian miners do to help the country where the man responsible for the actions of the KPA held citizenship?

Mining was important in Thuringia since the later Middle Ages, especially within the mining towns of the Thuringian Forest such as Schmalkalden, Suhl and Ilmenau. Following the industrial revolution, the old iron, copper and silver mines declined because the competition from imported metal was too strong. On the other hand, the late 19th century brought new types of mines to Thuringia: the lignite surface mining around Meuselwitz near Altenburg in the east of the Land started in the 1870s, and two potash mining districts were established around 1900. These are the Südharzrevier in the north of the state, between Bischofferode in the west and Roßleben in the east with Sondershausen at its centre, and the Werrarevier on the Hessian border around Vacha and Bad Salzungen in the west. Between 1950 and 1990, uranium mining was also important to cover the Soviet Union's need for this metal. Together, they accounted for a significant part of the world's potash production in the mid-20th century. After the reunification, the Südharzrevier was abandoned, whereas K+S took over the mines in the Werrarevier. The centre was Ronneburg near Gera in eastern Thuringia and the operating company Wismut was under direct Soviet control. <SEP> By August, the KPA had pushed back the ROK Army and the Eighth United States Army to the vicinity of Pusan in southeast Korea. In their southward advance, the KPA purged the Republic of Korea's intelligentsia by killing civil servants and intellectuals. By September, the UN Command controlled the Pusan perimeter, enclosing about 10% of Korea, in a line partially defined by the Nakdong River. On 20 August, General MacArthur warned North Korean leader Kim Il-sung that he was responsible for the KPA's atrocities. <SEP> while dexter considers that he must be held responsible for his crimes, lila takes the gps device from dexter's car and uses it to locate the cabin. she finds doakes, who explains that he is a prisoner of dexter morgan, the bay harbor butcher, and needs help. deciding she now understands dexter and must help him, lila leaves doakes imprisoned and then lights the cabin's gas stove and opens a propane tank. she leaves and doakes fails to escape, dying in the explosion. finding doakes' body and the other evidence dexter left behind, the fbi concludes that sgt. doakes was indeed the bay harbor butcher. <SEP> in the resulting battle of pusan perimeter (august–september 1950), the u.s. army withstood kpa attacks meant to capture the city at the naktong bulge, p'ohang-dong, and taegu. the united states air force (usaf) interrupted kpa logistics with 40 daily ground support sorties that destroyed 32 bridges, halting most daytime road and rail traffic. kpa forces were forced to hide in tunnels by day and move only at night. to deny matériel to the kpa, the usaf destroyed logistics depots, petroleum refineries, and harbors, while the u.s. navy air forces attacked transport hubs. consequently, the over-extended kpa could not be supplied throughout the south. on 27 august, 67th fighter squadron aircraft mistakenly attacked facilities in chinese territory and the soviet union called the un security council's attention to china's complaint about the incident. the us proposed that a commission of india and sweden determine what the us should pay in compensation but the soviets vetoed the us proposal. <SEP> At the end of World War II, Soviet Union occupied the northern half of Korea and in 1946 established the Provisional People's Committee for North Korea chaired by Kim Il-sung. On 9 September 1948, the DPRK was proclaimed, also led by Kim Il-sung.
