Abstract

The article analyzes such important aspects of the organization of the daily life of «eastern workers», in the conditions of forced labor in Germany, such as food and the possibility of receiving medical care. Satisfaction of the main range of household needs and the creation of conditions for a health-saving work regime could become a motivational message to increase labor productivity, given the powerful propaganda support at the stage of attracting the civilian population of the occupied territories to Germany. But the deprivation of the elementary foundations of a safe and relatively materially prosperous life, the presence of a wide range of risks emphasized the initially set vector of the Third Reich’s policy in relation to labor from the East - the maximum profit from each resource, including the demographic one.
