Talk:Forced labour under German rule during World War II

Conscripted labour
Personal acquaintance with one of those conscripted adds another class to the description. My subject is two brothers who'd formed a light engineering company in Brussels before the war. Threatened with conscription of their wives into a military brothel, they joined the ranks of emigrant labour, working in Germany. On their return, it was decided they had volunteered, and so their civic rights were permanently withdrawn. As a result, they were entirely dependant on the Catholic Church for all social care, both medical and pension. The fact that this was done legally is a marker for the scale of the matter: reprisals were sometimes lynchings. Another consideration in this case is that they lived in a strong Resistance area, and alternative provision could have been made in the underground resistance. A further consequence was that a daughter, born after the war, also suffered from her family's servile status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.68.80.209 (talk) 18:32, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I've altered the sentence to read "The Nazis also had plans for the interment and transportation to Europe of "the able-bodied male population between the ages of seventeen and forty-five" in the event of a successful invasion." which is supported by page 782 of the 1960 American hardcover edition, in the section "If the Invasion had Succeeded" of the chapter "Operation Sea Lion: The Thwarted Invasion of Britain".

Peace Movement
Since most personnel records have been destroyed or were never maintained, it has been speculated that the members of the Peace Movement were conscripted into forced labour camps. Unlike peaceful times, their activities were considered to be anti-regime (?). JohnEC Jr (talk) 22:25, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Categorization of Hungary
The Spreadsheet that shows the number of "Foreign civilian forced labourers in Nazi Germany by country of origin...", which sources data for January 1944, displays Hungary under the column of "Occupied Central and Eastern Europe" despite the fact that Hungary wasn't occupied by Germany until March of the same year. Should be moved under the "German allies and neutral countries" column. Vladikr1 (talk) 18:05, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
