03. News of reconstruction:

a. Blast furnace, Berlin
Everywhere in Berlin scrap-iron is salvaged from the debris - and thousands of tons are still in the ruins. Now this scrap is being utilized.
A blast furnace was built in the heavily bombed plant Bothe iron works. Though it cannot compare with those in the Rhine area it produces 200 tons of pig iron a month.
After the melting down the liquid crude iron is directed into channels where it solidifies into ingots.
A second furnace is being built. Thus, Berlin creates for itself a part compensation for the iron from Rhine and Ruhr.

b. New soil, Holstein
A different form of reconstruction is practiced in Holstein. Through hard and intensive work the Putlos manoeuvre ground have been converted into fertile arable land.
Where formerly youngsters were prepared for the battlefield crops are now growing. The soil, once torn by shells, is now furrowed by the plough.
The area was distributed among settlers and farmers. Farms sprang out of the barren land. One of these new farms harvested already this year 5.000 cwt of crop, 3.000 cwt of potatoes and 15.000 cwt of beets and vegetables.
This soil which only a year ago resembled a moon landscape today already feeds six persons per hectar.

c. Railway reconstruction, Holstein and Munich
One of reconstruction's most important aids is a smoothly functioning transportation and traffic system. Everywhere tracks are being cleared a wreckage removed to create space for new yards and workshops.

Thousands of other locomotives, both electric and steam driven, are in the workshops.
Bavaria biggest plant of this type is the Kraus-Maffei-Works at Munich-Allach.
Instead of fabrication the plant concentrates at present on the reconditioning of repairable locomotives.
The damaged engines are taken apart. The various parts are repaired in specialized workshops.
After overhauling of all parts the engine is reassembled in the assembling shop.
Up to now 250 locomotives were repaired in these workshops - newly conditioned for long service on the trackways.
