I believe they were used for forced man power, at a time when Germany was absolutely desperate for man power, in a brutal fashion along with the various other groups (such as large numbers of Slavic peoples), and that many who were unfit or unable to do what they were told to were killed, just as happened in the Soviet Gulag's.
