All secondary rail lines were torn up and all electric locomotives removed."
"Two hundred key plants were placed under direct Russian control, with the German work force of
1,300,000 on subsistence wages, the profits going to the USSR."
Looted: I.G Farben Industries, Leuna Chemical Plants, the Reich's only copper works, the machine
works of Krupp Gruson, Brabag Brown Coaland Gasoline Co, the Polysius Machine Works at
Dessau; machine tool factories, coal and mine companies, potash mines, electrical plants.
Such was the looting rapacity that the Russians stole from under their noses two American-owned

Americans never did retrieve them.
DYNAMITING
"... America went about the business of dismantling and dynamiting German plants with more fervour
than was at first exhibited in any other zone...."

"France is ravenous for loot, has been anxious to destroy Germany forever, wants to get rid of

German nationals in South America to be picked up and sent to Europe as slaves."

held in the names of neutral nations. Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, and other countries, forced to hand
over to the United States, all German assets, investments and properties. ($104,000,000 involved with
a further $200,000,000 from German assets held in Sweden.
"Taking their foreign trade away from them, and making it impossible for them to export
manufactured goods was tantamount, therefore, to pronouncing the death sentence on the German
people." - Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest
