Watching Frédéric Back's animation of 'The Man Who Planted trees," a story by Jean Giono about a man who created a forest in a remote area of France, I came across the passage:



"The only serious danger to the work occurred during the war of 1939. As cars were being run on gazogenes (wood-burning generators), there was never enough wood. Cutting was started among the oaks of 1910. . ."



What was the impact of a million gasogenes on the forest of Europe during the war? Has anyone seen any estimates?
