The file contains information on Germany's attitude towards invaded Poland and the Polish people. Furthermore, the documents report on the deportation and treatment of Polish workers in Germany. Generally, Polish people were considered primitive by the Nazis and received therefore bad treatment. Many rules were forced on the Polish people. For instance, Polish citizens had to step aside when they encountered a German on the street and were not to talk to them unwarrantedly. Due to a shortage of agricultural workers, large numbers of Poles were deported to Germany in packed trains. Arriving in Germany, the Polish men and women were forced to work on fields.
