In this case, the deadbeat was the regime government that expected shit for free, rather than some lazy bum asking for a handout from the government like we have here.

they had basically delivered their country out of a depression by the time WW2 even started, which is kinda before slaves came into the workforce. Also most of their prisoner slave labor did a real shitty job and were regulated to shit that didn't matter much, and when they did work on important shit it was at the very end of the war when it was basically all over. Anyway, the point is, They didn't have any slaves when they brought themselves out of the great depression.
I feel like if we were to cut of every form of social welfare, and keep taxes the same we could reduce national debt by like a trillion a year. I haven't looked into the numbers though
Reality blows
