Excerpt from E.O.Ü., AMERICAN EMBASSY, LONDON, 30 June 1945, p.l

Subject: ITEMS ON GERMAN COAL PRODUCTION

SUMMARY

Coal production remained surprisingly high throughout 1944.

Not until November 44 did hard coal production fall below the

monthly levels of 1939; and brown coal remained at 1939 levels

until February 45. Production of hard coal in the week ending

2 June was still only about two-thirds of the essential military

and civilian requirements; brown coal briquettes were being pro­

duced only for one-third of requirements. Except for the small

field at Aachen, where a labor shortage continues, this-present

inadequacy of coal shipments is due to a lack of rolling stock

and locomotives. It is expected that the transport stringency

will be eased sufficiently to meet the schedule of requirements

listed in the Koenig Report (two copies now sent you) and to per­

mit sizeable exports to other countries in Northwest Europe by

September. A schedule of the requests for coal already made by

these countries for the remainder of the year (totalling more than

2 million tons monthly) is attached. These needs can be met only

if the countries involved provide coal cars and locomotives; other­

wise deliveries may be only one-third to one-half of the demands.

been generally confirmed by a set of independent records, Kept in rough form In* the files of the Rheinisches Braunkohlen Bozirc:. Monthly production statistics, conforming to those formerly pub­lished in the Ueichsverelnigung Kohle statischer iioricht (SWu Manuscript of 8 Deo era bor '44) for earlier period», bring the de­tailed picture up through November 44. v.hile they indicate a sharp drop fron high wartime levels of production beginning in Septe: ber 44, hard coal aid not fall below the 1939 levels of output until November, and brown coal was still being produced "normally" in that month« The Bpeer estimates, which ran consistently 6 to 300,000 tons higher for hard coal, do not show a significant drop below 1939 until January 1945^ Bpeer's esti­mates' and the now ones run very close together for brown coal, an it is not until February 45 that the ostinates fall bolow 1939 levels. - -

Present Coal Production. Because of necessary delays in processing report* sent

in from the!nines»only current production for the week ending 2 June is at hand, iierchnntable production of hard coal in­creased 32 percent over the preceding uoek. iithead production had incroar.ed only 15 percent, but a & explained in the letter of 15 June the merchantable proportion of any increase in gross output v.lll become Increasingly higher with further expansion of working. Transferred to a monthly basis, the coal v.on during this week amount ad to about 500,000 tons, of \*i.ich more than 400,000 was hard cool« On 21 June, Field Marshall .Montgom­ery said in a press conference that the current monthly rato of output for the Ruhr alone was 1,200,000 tons. Presuming that this refers to pithead production! it would bring Merchantable herd coal output for the ÜTIA.T5F area up to mora than 550,000 tou3. In the absence of any detailed confirmation of the Field Marshallf however, a table ha.? been prepared to show the monthly rate of output tmd distribution achieved during the week ending 2 June.

Actual rail capaolty Into the mines, and the loading capacity at the mines, now considerably exceed ourrent loadings in the Ruhr, and at Aachen. The Ruhr difficulty seem to be a shortage of oars and locomotives to come in to remove the coal, since stocks available for weekly lift exceed loadings considerably. By the and of the month, however, if loadings can be carried out at oven one half of the total loading capacity avuilablo, surplus stocks villi have been elininated, while current output will also havo been fully moved. It would then appear that merchantable production itself would become the bottleneck. However, subject to confirmation in the field during the next weak, it is my own understanding that production v.ill in tuet expand sufficiently to take the place of the shipments now coming out of surplus stocks.

The Aachen problem is mite different. There stocks are below the safety line, una the excess of production over the amount which the rails are aole to carry a..ay it going into reserves at the mines. Manpower is still the greatest need, with employment at 14 percent of 1939, while it is up to 58 percent in the Ruhr and 32 percent in the bear* faiinere in the Ruhr and the Cologne fields are largely employed now in rehabili­tation work around the mines, cnu the arrival of a further 50 to 75,OUO miners during July and ^uguet is greatly feared as a strain on food and housing, so long as transport limits the total pro­duction. Saar prospects, too, uro rapidly increasing and July production is expected to be U\ times that shown in this table. The data make it clear that the rails, and loading oepuolty ut the Saar mines are being stretched to the limit at present, and that the accomplishment of this July production target.depends upon improvement in rail service.

As a result of these varying shortage a in tran&j ort and manpower, the coal disposed of darin/- the week ending •- June did not roach a monthly rate adequate for military and essential civilian requirements, as presented in the Koenlp Report of 18 i'ay. Total loadings of hard coal were et the rate of 2/3 of requirements; crown coal briquettes (data from Cologne only)i at 1/3. These figures are presented in the following t.bic.

* Requirements as given In the Koenifi Report«

** Production of brown coal briquettes tvvailabli only for Colocna fields. Requirements are those against all fields in üJUlfitf area.

No explanation has been found horo for the slight drop in bri tuetto production from the rate reached in the preceding week«

Y.hile the present picture of German production may not seem to meet expectations, it must be remembered that this represents only silently nore than one full month of operations in the tv.o largest fields. It Gains, too, in the perspective supplied by observing thetloadlnps from this week*8 production and stocks amounted to 33 percent of the total for northwest fcuropo« The remainder comes from Franco (39 percent), Belgium (19 percent), and the Netherlands (9 percent^

Future Cerman Production and Demands upon it. As the fields are beinn rehabilitate;,, optimism over

probable future production has increas d considerably. Labor in the German fields, no« at 187,000, will be steadily increased until there are 375,000 miners on the lists in Deoember, A large fraction of present labor is still aevoted toincreasinc the coal handling, and leading facilities at the nines, so that the present capacity for 2 million tons monthly will be at least tripled by December. Requirements for that month v.ill be about 3.2 million ton3 of hard and 3«5 million tons of brown (of which 1.2 Villi be used to make i*50,000 tons of briquettes). The total rail load for these requirements will bo about 5.5 million tons. In addition, the six formerly occupied countries of Northwest Europe have put in claims for a monthly total vary­ing from 2.0 to 2.3 million ton3 of hart; coal.
