DSC Forst „Wald”

Oilberg and HOKO

Separated NGL areas and acid-handling infrastructure.

Context

Four separated Oilberg/Nitro-Hill areas are reconstructed at Forst. They belonged to the NGL process and acid-handling system. The 1945 GKO order explicitly lists equipment from four nitration departments.

Key findings

The page separates securely documented facts from reconstruction. Comparative data from other DSC plants is used only when explicitly labelled as analogy.

How to read the evidence

Direct Forst records take priority. Report 133 is direct evidence for corporate structure, while its detailed technical inventory concerns Kraiburg.

Open questions

Further archival finds may refine dates, quantities and machine identifications. Uncertain points remain visibly marked.

Sources and state of research

The presentation distinguishes direct evidence, reconstruction and analogy. Old GEOS scans are not used as decorative illustrations.
