A group of mining engineers and workers from Donbas [a mining region in Ukraine] have been invited by their German colleagues to visit German mining enterprises. The Head of one of the German mines welcomes them. A visit to the underground places of work comes to its end. After the mining dust guests get a glass of great beer.

It's unclear whether these men were deported or simply visiting Germany of their own volition on some sort of work program. The narrator says the latter, though that could simply be fabrication for propagandistic purposes. - Copied From
