101a 186 The Reichsarbeitsminister IIb 2063/39 A Berlin, 29 December 1939. Health insurance of the South Tyrolean repatriates Before the entry into force of the German-Italian social security contract of 20 December 1939 On 1 June 1939, membership of an Italian health insurance institution cannot be taken into account when granting benefits from German health insurance to insured persons who are relocated from South Tyrol to the German Reich. In order to eliminate the hardships caused by this for the South Tyrolean returnees, I agree that, in the case of the granting of benefits to South Tyrolean repatriates, provided that the deferment of certain insurance periods is a pre-measurement of benefits, the membership of Italian health insurance funds is also reimbursed.
