The German Reichskommandant in Holland, Seyss-Inquart,
proclaimed an ordinance concerning the "duty for
the performance of services." This ordinance provided
for the forced employment of Dutch citizens in Nazi-Germany
and its occupied territories.
The deployment of foreign labor in Nazi-Germany
between 1939 and 1945 represents the largest mass
utilization of forced labor in history since the
end of slavery during the 19th century. Reports
show that in August 1944, 7.8 million foreign workers
and prisoners of war were involved and, in addition
to these, approximately 500,000 mostly foreign concentration
camp inmates. By war's end an estimated 10 million
slave laborers were involved.

to the English-language edition of the website of

this treatise is both unique and authoritative. Unique
because we believe it to be the only one on the subject
matter available on the internet. Authoritative because
it has been written by the foremost authority on the
