At Ploesti, the Russians won their most important and cheapest victory of the whole war in southeastern Europe. The Ploesti fields, with an estimated output of 2,000,000 tons of crude oil even after scores of allied air raids, had been supplying one-half of the natural oil and one-third of all oil for Adolf Hitler's faltering war mechine,

There were many of them, he said. They came from back there (he pointed in the direction of the coast) and they were going there (he pointed in the direction of the front.). It is enough, he said severely to a hotel ‘keeper, that they are here. Is it not that our allies, the Americans, have given them pack to us? . The gendarme turned and smiled at two Americans standing nearby. i They smiled back and one commented: “It looks like Sunday in the Bronx with LaGuardia going to a fire.” “Mais oui,” said the gendarme. He turned to the hotel keeper. “You see, my old one, it is as I have said.” . : |
