Totaleinsatz
Encyclopedia
Totaleinsatz was a colloquial term of young Czechs for Forced labour under German rule during World War II. 400,000 Czechs worked as forced labour in Germany. This was a subset of the Arbeitseinsatz
for German men but with ambiguity as to the status of Czechs under the "Protectorate" of Bohemia and Moravia. The Czech conscripted labourers generally were treated as the French and Dutch, for example being being allowed to bring family photographs, and not as de-facto slave labourers like the Ukrainian Ostarbeiter.
