1940s   3pc  Old  Photos  Soviet OST-Arbeiter in Germany          OLD  PHOTOs of Soviet OST-Arbeiter in Germany Orig. 1940s                                                               3 pieces     OST-Arbeiter  (German: Ostarbeiter, English: Eastern Workers) was a designation for slave workers gathered from Eastern Europe to do forced labor in Nazi Germany during World War II. The Ostarbeiters were mostly from the territory of Reichskommissariat Ukraine (eastern Ukraine). Ukrainians made up the largest portion although many Belarusians, Russians, Poles and Tatars were also present. Estimates put the number of OST Arbeiters between 3 million and 5.5 million.  Some estimates place the number as high as 8.5 million workers.   Most were very young, under the age of 16, as those older than 16 were usually conscripted. 30% were as young as 12–14 years of age when they were taken to Germany. By November 1943 the age limit was dropped to 10.  50% of those taken from Ukraine were girls and women.   OST-Arbeiters from Reichskommissariat Ukraine were forced to wear a dark blue and white badge with "OST", the German word for East.   original •  with wife •  with friends •  with brother     Description  Printed  in 1940s Dimentions   125x 88 mm    135x88 mm     135x88 mm Original KODAK Photo-Paper   Terms , Shipping & Other Info I send WORLDWIDE in within 24 hours after receipt of payment by Registered AIR Mail.
