I heard that the Autobon (sp?) in Germany went through the black forest
and the truckers cut down all of it that they could get to for fuel. If
true, they must have been able to burn some pretty high moisture wood.

animation of 'The Man Who Planted trees," a story by Jean Giono about
a man who created a forest in a remote area of France, I came across
the passage:
"The only serious danger to the work occurred during the war of 1939.
As cars were being run on gazogenes (wood-burning generators), there
was never enough wood. Cutting was started among the oaks of 1910. . ."
What was the impact of a million gasogenes on the forest of Europe
during the war? Has anyone seen any estimates?
