"Fueling the Second World War" is a comprehensive non-fiction book that examines the role of Deutsche Erdöl AG (DEA) during World War II. The DEA, once Germany's leading oil company, underwent a transformation after World War I and evolved into a coal and lignite conglomerate. Starting in 1933, the DEA, under contract with the German Navy, invested in oil production from lignite and was closely tied to the economic strategies of the Nazi regime. The book highlights the DEA's entanglements in the politics of Aryanization and the exploitation of oil resources in countries occupied by the Wehrmacht. Additionally, it addresses the use of forced labor during the war. This work is a continuation of the previous analysis of Wintershall AG and provides deeper insights into the economic and moral implications of corporate policies during this period.
