The map above shows Germany's Ruhr Valley area—som; 6100 square miles wherein is co, .:en-
trated what has been called the world's most powerful center of industrial activity, In effect, it is
a gigantic coal pile which stokes German industries. From it they get well over 100,000,000 tons
or hard coal a year and Ruhr coke smelts three-quarters of the Reich's iron and steel output. Over
its flat landscape, grimy with work -dust, hangs a pall of smoke from the thousands of factory chim-
neys that needle up from the close -packed towns. Once the core of German strength, some ob-
servers now see the 'Ruhr as Germany's Achilles heel—an all -vital spot whose destruction or cap-
ture by the Allies would so wreck war production that Hitler's armies simply could not carry on,
