Examples of the growing repression in the Protectorate are working conditions in Daimler Benz GmbH, founded in 1943 in Nový Pace. The Dailmer-Benz company, whose main turnover at that time was already the production of aircraft engines, relocated production of parts of aircraft motors and engines to headlights to a closed textile factory in Nová Pace. In the summer of 1944 two nearby companies in Stará Pace and Jičín joined it. Since the textile factory was not enough to cover the need for labor, many of the surrounding places, including the whole school classes and their teachers, were forced to work at Daimeler-Benz. Most of them lived at home, but some families had to clear their homes for German staff and go to camp. At the end of February 1945, when the company was to be redirected to the production of jet engines to the junkers, the DB GmbH Nová Paka was obliged to employ 4131 Czechs and 91 Germans, who mainly held leadership positions. The working climate was very rough, German leaders cursed and beaten Czech workers. See Barbora Hopmann and others, Zwangsarbeit bei Daimler-Benz, Stuttgart 1944, s. 59n., 98n. a.s. 256- 259.
