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. All these operations were authorised by US government.

Oh I guess those German submarines must have stopped into US Harbors during
WW2, to replenish oil supplies, after raiding our convoys.

You make some silly posts, but this gets up there.

It isnt even accurate to call them Nazi subs either, since the German Navy was
not a big fan of the Nazis at all.

Try again

Much to the displeasure of the Germans the Spaniards interned
a number of U-boat crews that turned up in the Canary Islands and
they were desperately short of fuel themselves

You'll find that oil imports to Spain were only allowed
on the basis that Spain distance itself from the Axis.

The only real concession the spaniards made was agreeing
to turn a blind eye to the presence of german tankers in
Spanish territorial waters.

When dealing with propaganda terminology one sometimes always speaks in
variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant.

The NSDAP may not have been popular with the Kriegsmarine, but like good soldiers they obeyed orders from the politicians currently in office.

The "Nazis" didn't usually call themselves "Nazis" but National Socialists (Nationalsozialisten).
