On 8th June 1942, the Reich's agent for the work of Fritz Sauckel arrived in Prague, who demanded that the Protectorate deliver a total of 100,000 workers by 30th April 1943, i.e. 10,000 workers a month.

One reason was the plan to move arms production to the Protectorate from German territory, which was increasingly threatened by bombing.
