Crazy thing we learn in Chapter Nine: the Allies drew up plans to bomb the Soviet oil industry from Iraq, which were abandoned when the Nazis invaded France, but were revived in 1941 and still underway up until September. Motive was to deny Nazi Germany oil and punish Stalin for working with Hitler, but holy shit like Joey Dzhugashvili wasn't paranoid and distrustful of the West already!

Churchill vs Nazi Trees (II)
"...Most RAF bombs dropped in the German countryside, but even those deliberately dropped on forests between June and August 1940, following repeated pressure from Churchill to try and burn down German woodland, failed to ignite a fire."

"After the French defeat the priority given to oil remained in place, but a new directive on 20 June added the German aircraft industry to the list and suggested the firebombing of forests to induce a food crisis in Germany (it was argued that game driven from the forests by fire would be forced to eat the crops on the surrounding farmland).
