ÚLOHA NEMECKA V DREVÁRSKOM PRIEMYSLE SLOVENSKA 1939 – 1945: KAPITÁLOVÉ VZŤAHY

The forestry and timber industry had strategic importance in Slovak – German economic relations in the period 1939–1945. After 1938 German capital undertook considerable capital expansion into the Slovak forestry and timber industry. The main instrument of expansion was the German – Slovak corporation United Timber and Industrial Company, which built a factory for wooden buildings at Turany and a network of operations for extracting timber. However, activities in Slovakia were also developed by other German firms. They built up small and middle-sized timber operations in various regions.
