There's some evidence that POL was seen as a weak point in the early days of WW 2. Absolutely it was. Even after the U.S. jumped in POL was considered a good payoff target...the problem was (IIRC) that the entire POL system (from production to distribution) was so dispersed that only the production node was seen as vulnerable to air strike and the effects of hitting production much too delayed. After Ploesti, no serious strikes on POL facilities took place again until the Spring before D-Day.
