After the WAllies won the Hot War in 1960 what effect would millions of newly freed Slavs who not only are traumatized but lived the majority (if not all) of their lives as poorly educated slave laborers with nothing but manual labor experience have on the reconstruction of post war Europe?

How difficult would integrating them back into European society be?

Relevant CalBear post:
By 8 years of age they have been working as some level of field hand for a couple years, especially on the more "strict" plantations. 90% of them have seen a family member either killed or been shipped off to a "more rigorous" location or sent to the Reich as a factory worker.

By the time a Polish, or Ukrainian or Latvian, etc. child can pass the most basic logic test (such as the big/little cup choice) they understood that they were doomed and had no hope of a future that would get better. Needless to say but when the WAllies defeated the Reich they had masses of 12 & 13 year old orphans who were also effectively sociopaths with negligible education no useful skills on a modern 1960 era farm.
