I know because my grandmother had a shop opposite one such steel works and the Germans would come into her shop to buy cigarettes and sweets with some sort of small payment they were allowed each evening, before being taken back to the camp outside the city. One of the Germans carved my grandmother a small Scotty dog in wood, darkened with boot polish, as a present. I still have it.
