 But the Reichswerke's own post-war plans, developed in 1942, called for a further increase of state control over heavy industries and industrialization of the eastern territories at the expense of the Ruhr.The Reichswerke clearly favored industrial development in Central Europe, rather than Germany itself, in part because it was out of reach of allied bombers.By 1943-1944 half of the Reichswerke iron and steel were produced in the occupied territories, the other half in Germany (including annexed Austria).
