Foreign Labor in Nazi Germany
by Homze, Edward L (2015)
Abstract
During World War II, Germany recruited over eight million foreign laborers from her allies, the neutral countries, and the occupied territories. This book describes the inception, organization, and administration of the Nazi foreign labor program and its relationship to the over-all economy and government.Originally published in 1967.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Key Passage
The Nazi party's philosophy and policies regarding laborwere fundamentally shaped by the circumstances of itsmaturation, especially the German inflation and depression.Therefore, it is necessary to examine the legislative actionsof the Nazi party after it assumed power in 1933 to show thetype and degree of controls that the Nazis established overthe German workers prior to the war and subsequently extendedto the foreign workers, and to illuminate some of thelater inconsistencies in the foreign labor program.
