A lot of the skilled foreign worker i.g. french aviation workers did not go to the german aviation production factories. The problem got realley bad after the huge losses 1941. Even the protected skilled german workers would get called up for the wehrmacht at quite a scale. Even though women were drafted in most did not work full shifts.

Using mostly worker from the east, part of the problem was solved.
