It needed a tremendous amount of labor force

Explanation:

Guest workers as you call them were actually considered as deportees by the countries from which they were for instance France. A program such as the STO(service du travail obligatoire or compulsory work service) forced young men to work in Germany as a tribute. People who escaped or refused were generally deported or executed as a punishment.
