Panzers & Sabotage - From The Archives

I stumbled across an interesting primary source that talks about Sabotage and Panzer Production. Since it was an official publication and not fully internal (the distribution was limited), this is quite interesting indeed. As such we discuss the statements and also what this might mean for further research. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Generalinspekteur der Panzertruppen: Nachrichtenblatt der Panzertruppen Nr. 8, Februar 1944 Töppel, Roman: Kursk 1943.

Thanks, as an American educator, the idea of forced/slave labor committing sabotage is a line that American textbooks through out but I have never really seen actually documented; and few of my history books on WW2 include German production logistics.

An interesting topic -- is there was a reliable source on "how important was foreign labor (both forced and voluntary) to German war production ?" I have pretty much understood for years that there were literally millions of people involved, but have no idea of how much of impact they really had. I know that the US had a guest worker program for agricultural workers & railroad workers from Mexico which was much abused on both sides of the border. During the war years of 1942-47, the number of guest workers admitted was relatively small, and they accounted for less than 10 percent of US hired workers.

basically, I would go for Germany and the Second World War Volume 5, part 2. Volume 5 is about the war economy I think part 1 is til 1942 and part 2 1942 to 1945. Additionally, Adam Tooze's Wages of Destruction is the most up-to-date book on the German war economy as far as I know. Additionally, the bibliographical essays in the Cambridge History of the Second World War might also have something in there. Especially Volume 3, which also has an article by Tooze as well. And since it sits next to me, Tooze was also editor of this volume. Wages of destruction also incorporates stuff of the Germany and the Second World War series and is far cheaper. So, I would say you can't go wrong with that one.
