History / German treatment of Poles (Russian partition) during WW1? [25]
to be honest i never heard of such attempts - there was a drive to weaken Polish industry to create unemployment and force Poles in the German mainland (just read an article about it concerning Łódź's textile industry) but no slave-labour was in question to my knowledge
Poles worked in agriculture and forestry in Germany even before the Great War and war hardships probably made more of them to seek work in Germany - that's my guess
For example was there large use of slave-labour from that part of Poland during WW1

History / German treatment of Poles (Russian partition) during WW1? [25]
narikis - Germans confiscated lots of farm animals in the occupied zone (mostly cattle) from what i have read in Polish - also most if not all church bells were confiscated to be recast as ammunition
otherwise Germans aimed to create a vassal state from the Russian partition with Polish cultural institutions - so there was a huge difference between the I World War occupation and the II World War occupation
