 1994.    KRONSTEN, J. A.  Poland’s Oil Position Today.  Synthetic and Substitute Products.  Petrol. Times, vol. 51, 1947, pp. 159-160.

        Of the 3 German-built synthetic plants on Polish territory, not one is in a fit condition to be rebuilt.  They will, therefore, be combined at the site of the Oswiecim synthetic oil works, which will be equipped with plant allocated to Poland under the German reparation scheme and coming from the Fischer-Tropsch plant at Schwarzheide near Dresden.  Also, a certain amount of salvaged equipment will be transferred from the works at Blachownia-Blechhammer, formerly the Schlesische Hydrierwerke A.-G. and from Kedzierzyn in Silesia.  The new works at Oswiecim will have an output of 40,000 tons per yr. of intermediates for further processing into motor fuel and other products, but plant completion is unlikely before 18-24 months.
