While they were not worked to death, as Jewish slave labourers and other concentration camp prisoners were, they endured harsh conditions.

“So-called ‘eastern workers’ and Poles were given less food, poorer medical care and were at the mercy of police law,” said Prof Manfred Grieger of Göttingen University. “They were forced to live behind barbed wire.”
