the scarce item list in blockaded Berlin, the Germans in the

with an “ersatz” coal which supplies six times as much heat as
real coal. It is a combination of coal dust, sawdust and a tar
substance and sells in brick form. Here, a housewife uses
some of the new coal in her kitchen stove, since electricity and
