Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Auschwitz inmates were employed on huge farms, including the experimental agricultural station at Rajsko!. They were also forced to work in coal mines, in stone quarries, in fisheries, and especially in armaments industries such as the SS-owned German Equipment Works (established in 1941)!. Periodically, prisoners underwent selection!. If the SS judged them too weak or sick to continue working, they were transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and killed!.

I only know of a few projects done by the slave labor!. One was the building of the massive bomb proof submarine pens on the coast of France!. They were large concrete bunkers!. Slaves also repaired bombed railroad tracks!. They also did the more simple production work on the V-1 and V-2 rockets!. There were many more projects, but I don't have a listing!. Remarkably, the Germans did not force American, British, and Australian POWs to work!. Didn't always feed them, but didn't work them to death either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
