El Petróleo Rumano 1940-45

Between 1940 and 1944, the Ploiesti oil fields in Romania were responsible for supplying the precious "black gold" to both the military machine of the Third Reich and those of other Axis powers in Europe. This highly strategic enclave quickly attracted the attention of the United States, beginning in 1943, when B-24 Liberator bombers launched a disastrous raid that ended in utter failure against the cannons and aircraft of the Romanian Air Force. However, from 1944 onward, new tactics implemented by the American air force, coupled with its industrial superiority and a sustained campaign, ultimately disrupted crude oil production destined for the German Army. Rafael Rodrigo, author of the book "Ploiesti 1943-44, the Black Gold of the Third Reich" (HRM Ediciones, 2025), will discuss everything related to the United States' bombing campaign against the Ploiesti oil fields.
