Summary
| Description |
English: "One of the objects of the German-Austrian-Bulgarian drive into the Doubrudja region of Roumania was the gaining control of the oil wells in that region, an important petroleum producing country. Oil is one of the prime war necessities, and since
virtually none is produced in Germany she must procure her supply elsewhere. The Roumanians, of course, recognize the vital importance of the oil wells and, retreating from the enemy, have preferred firing them, as shown in the picture, to relinquishing them to their adversaries." |
