Coal and petroleum output by major power during the Second World War 1940

In 1940, the coal production of the United States was higher than any of the major European powers. Germany had the highest coal production in Europe in 1940, however a large part of this was down to the de-facto annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, where Germany took control of much of the French coal industry. The Western European powers had virtually no oil industry at this time, while the U.S. oil output was roughly six times larger than that of the Soviet Union.

于1940年，美国煤炭产量超越所有主要欧洲强国。同年，德国在欧洲的煤炭产量位居首位，然而，这一部分产量主要得益于对阿尔萨斯-洛林的实际吞并，德国据此掌握了大量法国煤炭产业。当时，西欧诸国几乎无石油工业可言，而美国的石油产量大致是苏联的六倍。
