I saw it explained in a documentary. One that focused solely on the events of the war and how events played out. Of course they couldn't say the obvious, but by defining every critical move and why they were made it becomes so painfully obvious that there is no conceivable way that any form of fuel in Germany wouldn't have been used for the war effort. I don't remember the documentary name, but if you are curious about WW2, start watching non kiked documentaries.
Also not widely known but many so called "conquered" cities welcomed the Germans with open arms. Think of a bunch of mid-westerners going into Oregon and clearing out all the degenerates. Do you think the citizens left would cheer or boo when they could once again walk down their streets without fear?
I get the point that every source of fuel is critical during the war effort but the fact their military collapsed from lack of oil is not a good proof that they didn't try burning through other means, regardless of my personal opinion on the matter.
I assume they used all their fuel and energy for the war effort. They built POW camps because they cared about their prisoners. If they didn't care, they would have just murdered them all. It's hard to fathom how many bullets they fired on Normandy or in Russia. I don't recall one video or documentary saying they were low on bullets. For that matter, I doubt they were low on bombs. If they wanted to kill everyone in a POW camp, they could have easily fire bombed the camp like the US did in Japan to Tokyo. It would have been an absolutely tremendous waste of forces wasting time gassing and burning POWs when fire bombing would have resulted in the same result and only took ten or twenty minutes.
That's your sister.
