Oil for the Final Victory

Kontinentale Öl AG 1941–1945

Book Presentation: Dr. Karsten Linne, **
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Manfred Grieger

World War II was a war of tanks, trucks, and aircraft. Oil formed the indispensable foundation for the military campaigns. The German Reich had only limited reserves and was therefore dependent on the conquest of an oil base. Founded in 1941, Kontinentale Öl AG was intended to serve as a counterweight to the major Allied oil companies and, above all, to exploit the rich oil fields of the Caucasus. However, since this area could not be permanently occupied, the Nazis had to settle for other European regions—Romania, Galicia, and Estonia.Translated with DeepL
