Synopsis

This is an account of the most important instance of forced labor by foreign workers outside their own country in the twentieth century, when millions of workers from the USSR, Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, Italy and elsewhere toiled in the service of the Nazi regime. These workers are examined first from the viewpoint of the Nazi leadership, the entrepreneurs and the authorities, and second through the eyes of the workers themselves. The Nazis could sustain World War II only by replacing the skilled German workers who had been sent off as soldiers by a foreign work force brought to Germany and employed in agriculture and industry. After this scheme had failed to work on a voluntary basis, from the spring of 1940 huge numbers of foreign workers were brought to Germany by force. This is the first major study of what in effect was slave labor on a massive scale, whose reverberations are still felt today in current debates about work compensation and the legacy of the Third Reich.

Revue de presse

'... an outstanding contribution to the subject, based on a massive archival foundation, clearly set out, morally concerned without being sensational. It replaces everything else on the subject and is likely to remain the standard text for the foreseeable future.' Richard Overy, King's College London

'... a comprehensive account of the ways in which some seven million non-Germans came to be working in the Third Reich. It is an important social and economic history, with many insights into how an advanced industrial society can function with the aid of racially categorized foreign forced labor. It is also an important study of racism at all levels of the host society.' Michael Burleigh, University of Wales, College of Cardiff

'... Herbert's pioneering work is indispensable for a serious scholarly engagement with the topic.' English Historical Review

'... this is an important book which will be read with great benefit by anyone interested in German history, the history of the Second World War and the history of racism.' Labour History Review
