Local Nazi authorities in occupied Poland have been ordered to intensify their efforts to extend slave labor among Poles and Jews, according to the pro-Nazi Polish newspaper Goniec Krakowski which reached here today from Poland.
The paper reports that an order giving the local authorities the right to compel all inhabitants of occupied Poland “to do any work deemed necessary for the German war effort, inside and outside the country,” was issued by Hans Frank, Nazi governor for Poland. The order was necessitated by the acute shortage of labor in Germany, the Polish paper says.
