Ludwigshafencenter was a city of 150,000 population (in 1939) on the Rhine River near Heidelberg.  Its two giant I.G. Farben plants, covering 1200 acres and employing 40,000 workers, produced much of Germany's ammonia, synthetic rubber, synthetic oil and other vital chemicals; its railroad yards were also important, and hundreds of smaller shops and factories produced war materials, such as diesel engines for submarines. The city fought back, as the Luftwaffe ringed it with 180 high-powered flak guns and numerous airfields to stop Allied bombers.
