  Spectroscopic analyses of 7 SMC B-type supergiants and 1 giant have been
undertaken using high resolution optical data obtained on the VLT with UVES.
FASTWIND, a non-LTE, spherical,line-blanketed model atmosphere code was used to
derive atmospheric and wind parameters of these stars as well as their absolute
abundances. The implications of these results for stellar evolution and line
driven wind theory are discussed.
