KyrosL Re: "Are you aware", ect. I am well aware that the Nazis had a vast slave labor system in operation, well organized and producing a large part of Germanys war material. Most of these "slaves" were captured soldiers and other persons arrested in the occupied nations and packed off to the forced labor camps. There were also large numbers of Germans sent to the camps, including the Jews whose mistreatment is legand. A great many of these forced workers were highly skilled and valued by their Nazi masters for their contribution to the war effort and they were not uniformly mistreated. The Germans were nothing if not efficent and as the Nazis faced no wartime food shortage as happened in WWI with starvation being one of the factors that forced Germany out of the war, there was simply no reason to starve the workers in the camps. And many were treated well. In the USSR everyone was in the position of an inmate in a German labor camp. Every individual Soviet citizen was a state slave. Slagle
