"When Germany began losing the war 1943, the Wehrmacht forcibly conscripted ethnic Poles, who were commanded with racist[1] policies against them."

"Nazi Germany defined Poland's ethnic German minority as racially superior Volksdeutche and ethnic Poles as subhuman. In addition to murdering 3 million Polish Jews in the Shoah, Germany carried out genocide against the ethnic Poles; at least 1.9 million were murdered, especially those in influential and leadership roles, while the rest were exploited for their labour, including in the military."[2]
