The article discuss the oil balance of NAZI Germany in 37 - june 44.
The funny side is that some 50% of oil and petrolium products
were supplied by US based companies (the standard oil of New Jersey,
the standard oil of California and the Davis oil company) mainly via
Spain. This includes 100% of oil supply for NAZI subs operating in
Atlantic.

Oil smuggling was epidemic across the world during World War II. Spain
was a problem, since it was neutral. Note also that a numer of thigns
were smuggled *out* of Germany during the war.

All these operations were authorised by US government.

Assumption not proven.
