Herbert Brassert, a German-American engineer, designed the Corby plant, which used the local low-grade, rather acidic, iron ore. In circa 1937-8 Brassert built another new plant for the Nazi party at Salzgitter capable of producing a million tons of steel per annum following completion of construction. Brassert was said to have been involved with as much as twenty per cent of the globe's blast furnaces in the early-mid twentieth century. [Source: Adam Tooze, The Wages of Destruction.
