Damage to Plant Facilities
This table gives an estimate of German rubber consumption in 1943 by the nine major companies. They used 70% of the total rubber consumed.
It shows the remaining undamaged capacity of the plants or the amount of rubber each plant could hope to process under present conditions (22 May 1945).

Notes: 1) The original document appears to have mislabled the data for Heels & Shoes for 1939-1942 into the Rubber Shoes column.
2) In my original the data for Rubberize Fabric for Others for Mar 1943 is partially illegible. I've marked the unreable digit with an x.
