Nazi Slave Labour Chief of Europe: Fritz Sauckel
Nuremberg Trials: The Leaders of Nazi Germany

From 1942 to 1945, Fritz Sauckel built one of the largest systems of human exploitation in history.
As Hitler’s General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment, he orchestrated the deportation of more than 12 million men, women, and children from across occupied Europe — many torn from their homes by force.
Under his orders, millions were transported to the Reich, enslaved in factories, mines, and camps, starved, and worked to death in brutal conditions.
He called it “labour deployment.” The world called it slavery.
At Nuremberg, he was named the “cruellest slave owner since the Egyptian pharaohs.”
In October 1946, Fritz Sauckel met the fate he had once promised others — death by hanging.
