GERMANY’S LABOUR
IMMIGRATION CHIEF SOURCE “In order to prepare for the new production drive, there has been a large-scale reorganisation of the administrative agencies in control of German production. In spite of this intensified production drive, there has been, the official of the Ministry of Economic Warfare states, a fresh comb-out of workers for the Army. Hitler’s losses in men, as well as in equipment, in Russia, must have been enormous. He has to find numbers of men to bring his Army divisions up to strength, and he has, therefore, to make a call on labour hitherto reserved. To fill the places rendered vacant, he is sending women, beys and girls into the factories, he is putting workers invalided out tuberculosis, back into industry, and he is even, it is said, training the blind for war work. But his chief source of labour supply is immigration. He is compelling the workers in occupied countries, partly by the argument of starvation, if they stay at home, to enlist in his industrial service. There is even talk of outright conscription of foreign labour. Hitler will stop at nothing.”—The Economist. London.
