Talk:Generalplan Ost

million local Germans should be excluded from them (Volksdeutsche). Then there will be 35 million people. The Baltic countries have 5.5 million inhabitants. Obviously, the general plan "Ost" also takes into account the ex-Soviet regions of Zhitomir, Kamenets-Podolsk and partially Vinnytsia as colonization territories. The population of the Zhytomyr and Kamenets-Podolsk regions is about 3.6 million people, and Vinnitsa - about 2 million people, since a significant part of it is included in the sphere of interests of Romania. Consequently, the total population living here is about 5.5 to 5.6 million people. Thus, the total population of the regions considered is 51 million. The number of people subject to eviction, according to the plan, should in fact be much higher than anticipated. Only when you consider that approximately 5-6 million Jews living in this territory will be liquidated even before the eviction takes place, can you agree with the figure mentioned in the plan of 45 million local residents of non-German origin. However, it can be seen from the plan that Jews are also included in the 45 million people mentioned. It follows, therefore, that the plan is based on an obviously incorrect calculation of the population.

example, not by a German, but by the German administration is Latvian or Lithuanian, which, if this principle is applied with skill, will undoubtedly have positive consequences for us. At the same time, the Russification of Latvians or Lithuanians should hardly be feared, especially since their numbers are not so small and they will occupy positions that would place them above the Russians. Representatives of this stratum of the population should also be instilled with the feeling and awareness that they are something special compared to russians. Perhaps later the danger of this stratum of the population, associated with its desire to be Germanized, is greater than the danger of its Russification. Regardless of the more or less voluntary resettlement of racially undesirable residents of the former Baltic states to the East proposed here, the possibility of their resettlement in other countries should also be allowed. As for the Lithuanians, whose general racial data are much worse than those of the Estonians and Latvians, and among whom, therefore, there are a very significant number of racially undesirable people, one should think about providing them with a suitable territory for colonization in the east...

fear that one day they would suffer the same fate. In my opinion, the Polish question must be resolved in such a way as to minimise the political complications I mentioned earlier. In March 1941, in a memorandum, I expressed the view that the Polish question could be partially resolved by the more or less voluntary resettlement of Poles abroad. As I learned later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not without interest in the idea of a possible partial solution of the Polish question by resettling Poles in South America, especially in Brazil. In my opinion, after the end of the war, the cultural layers and partly other layers of the Polish people, unfit for Germanization for racial or political reasons, should emigrate to South America, as well as to North and Central America... To resettle millions of the most dangerous for us Poles to South America, especially Brazil, is quite possible. At the same time, it could be attempted, through exchange, to return the South American Germans, especially from southern Brazil, and settle them in new colonies, for example, in Tavria, Crimea and also in the Dnieper region, since now we are not talking about settling the African colonies of the empire...

that it was bigger. After all, it should be borne in mind that these 4,550 thousand Germans should be distributed in territories such as the Danzig-West Prussia region, the Wart region, Upper Silesia, the General Government of Southeast Prussia, the Bialystok region, the Baltic States, Ingermanland, Belarus, partly also the regions of Ukraine... If we take into account the favorable increase in population through an increase in the birth rate, as well as, to some extent, the influx of immigrants from othercountries, countries inhabited by Germanic peoples, then we can count on 8 million. The Germans colonized these territories over a period of about 30 years. However, this does not reach the expected figure of 10 million Germans. For these 8 million Germans, according to the plan, there are 45 million local residents of non-German origin, of which 31 million will be evicted from these territories.

4438:

among all the peoples of the eastern regions . Even Belarusians whom we cannot, for racial reasons, leave on the territory destined for colonization by our people, we can, to a greater extent than the representatives of other peoples of the eastern regions, use in our interest. The land of Belarus is scarce. To offer them the best lands is to reconcile them with some things that could turn them against us. To this, by the way, we must add that the Russian population and especially the Belarusian itself is inclined to change homes, so that resettlement in these areas is not perceived by residents as tragically as, for example, in the Baltic countries... We must also think about resettling Belarusians in the Urals or in the regions of the North Caucasus, which in part could also serve as reserve territories for European colonization...

4412:

could rightly speak of a European reserve territory for the colonization and extraction of raw materials. Here, the European idea would make sense in all respects, while in the territory destined for German colonization it would be dangerous for us, since in this case it would mean that we accept, by virtue of the logic of things, the idea of Miscegenation of the peoples of Europe... You have to constantly keep in mind that Siberia up to the Baikal Lake has always been a territory of European colonization. The Mongols who inhabit these areas, like the Turkic peoples, appeared here in the recent historical period. It should be emphasized once again that Siberia is one of the factors that, if used correctly, could play a decisive role in depriving the Russian people of the opportunity to restore their power.

4393:

against the order established by the German authorities. Such a settlement of Poles, perhaps, would make sense as a counterweight to the Russians, if the latter regained state independence and the German administration of this territory would become illusory as a result. To this we must add that we must also strive to strengthen the Siberian peoples in every possible way to avoid the strengthening of the Russians. Siberians should feel like a people with their own culture. A compact settlement of several million Poles is likely to have the following consequences: either over time, the smaller Siberians will become pollinated and a "Greater Poland" will emerge, or we will make the Siberians our worst enemies, push them into the arms of the Russians and thus prevent the formation of the Siberian people.

4354:

local residents will remain in the territories under consideration, as provided by the plan, then between 46 and 51 million people must be evicted. The number of residents to be resettled, set by the plan at 31 million, cannot be considered correct. More notes on the plan. The plan envisages the resettlement of racially undesirable local residents in western Siberia. At the same time, percentage figures of individual peoples are given and therefore the fate of these peoples is decided, although there is still no exact data on their racial composition. In addition, the same approach has been established for all peoples without taking into account whether and to what extent the Germanization of the respective peoples is envisaged, whether they are peoples friendly or hostile to the Germans.

Jurgent Zimmerer page 437 Routledge 2015 discussions about the Generalplan Ost – which foresaw up to 70 million Russians being deported to Siberia and left to perish'." The research companion itself concerns the second German empire, which ended in 1918 and is thus far outside the scope of expertise for this topic. I cannot independently verify where the source attained the 70 million figure because it requires money to access, but I can point to the lack of that number in all other sources on the topic and the number that those sources give instead. The German documents used to reconstruct Generalplan Ost make no mention of a 70 million number and nor do they imply it as a goal. Here is a breakdown of those German documents:

Therefore, it is worth considering the introduction of the German language as a language that connects all these peoples... Thus, German influence in the East would increase significantly. One should also think of the administrative separation of northern Russia from the territories under the control of the Imperial Commissariat for Russian Affairs... The idea of transforming this area in the future into a Great German Colony should not be rejected, as its population is still largely possessing signs of the Nordic race. In general, in the rest of the central regions of Russia, the policy of the individual commissariats-general should be directed, as far as possible, to the separate separation and development of these regions.

launched. It is necessary to organize the generalized production of these funds. The distribution of these funds and abortion should not be restricted in any way. The expansion of the network of abortion clinics in every possible way should be encouraged. For example, it is possible to organize special training for midwives and paramedics and train them to perform abortions. The better the quality of abortions, the more confident the population will have in them. It is quite understandable that doctors must also be allowed to perform abortions. And this should not be considered a violation of medical ethics.

that just because one person was guilty of genocide not everyone involved might be. For example the commander of the person who is found guilty of genocide might have the means to attempt genocide on a larger proportion of a group and in that group the proportion might not reach the "in part" requirement! Further it allows prosecutors to work around the restrictions placed on the meaning of genocide by the diplomatic compromise that was reached when the wording of the CPPCG was agreed. It is interesting to speculate like this, but it does not advance the development of Knowledge. As the

odds with the data of the Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of the German Race on the number of poles of high racial rank suitable for Germanization. The Imperial Commissioner for the Strengthening of the German Race, based on a survey of the rural population of the Danzig-West Prussia and Wart regions, estimates the proportion of residents eligible for Germanization at 3 percent. If we take this percentage as a basis, then the number of Poles subject to eviction should be even more than 19-23 million...

state with its center in Moscow. Achieving this historic goal would never mean a complete solution to the problem. It is more likely that it will be a question of defeating the Russians as a people, of disuniting them. Only if this problem is considered from a biological point of view, especially from a racial-biological point of view, and if German policy in the eastern regions is carried out in accordance with this, will it be possible to eliminate the danger posed by the Russian people to us.

the ending point of the inquiry. The number of individuals targeted should be evaluated not only in absolute terms, but also in relation to the overall size of the entire group. In addition to the numeric size of the targeted portion, its prominence within the group can be a useful consideration. If a specific part of the group is emblematic of the overall group, or is essential to its survival, that may support a finding that the part qualifies as substantial within the meaning of Article 4 ."

Hierbei sollten Siedlerhöfe mit 40–100 ha Fläche sowie landwirtschaftliche Großbetriebe mit mindestens 250 ha Fläche entstehen. Die Zahl der hierfür benötigten Siedler wurde auf 5,65 Millionen geschätzt. Hierzu sollten aus dem geplanten Gebiet rund 31 Millionen Menschen nach Sibirien deportiert oder ermordet werden. Die Kosten der Planungen wurden auf 66,6 Milliarden Reichsmark geschätzt.

should also not lose sight of the fact that, on the other hand, a significant part of the population, especially from the western part of the empire, strongly rejects resettlement in the east, including in the Wart region of Danzig region and West Prussia ..., in my opinion, that the competent authorities, especially the Eastern Ministry, should constantly monitor the tendencies expressed in the reluctance to move eastward, and combat them with the help of propaganda.

However, it is more than doubtful whether they will lose their national characteristics and whether they will suffer Germanization in the planned 30 years, since, again, according to the plan in question, the number of German immigrants is very small. Obviously, the plan does not take into account the desire of the state commissioner to strengthen the German race (Greifelt department) to settle people fit for Germanization within the German empire proper...

country by its name, instead using the traditional word 'Russia' (although Russia was only one of the 16 republics, it was by far the largest and most populous one). Hence, while discussing ethnic minorities on occupied Soviet territories, they omit mentioning Russians directly because of the latter's status as the titular nation. Hence, the Germans wanted to split up Russia proper using different reichskommissariats (

However, it is of decisive importance here that these areas are not administratively subordinated to the German supreme authorities, which will be created in the central regions of Russia.

German government's plan for the genocide and ethnic cleansing on a vast scale, and colonization of Central and Eastern Europe by Germans."

according to the plan, a period of 30 years is foreseen for resettlement, then the number of resettled will be around 700 to 800 thousand per year. This means that for the transport of poles alone, between 100 and 120 trains will be required annually. In a relatively peaceful time, this can be considered technically feasible.

small in terms of the plan. First of all, it is striking that Ingermanland Dnieper, Tavria and Crimea as colonization territories were left out of the plan.
