9 At the initiative of the Reichsführer ßy, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstum (Reichskommission für die Burgenheit deutschen Volktum), the procedure for the admission of South Tyroleans who have been admitted to the Reich area has been regulated as follows: The official German immigration and repatriation office (ADERSt.) prepares personnel and application documents and sends them to the Landesarbeitsamt in Innsbruk, Abteilung Umsiedlung Südtirol. The application documents are distributed among the employment offices in question. The admission is made by calling the employment services through the Landesarbeitsamt Tirol-Salzburg (Regional Employment Office of Tyrol-Saltburg) at ADENSt. in Bolzano (f. Annex p. 122, 145, 146). To the extent that resettlers have to move rapidly before their call has been made, they are, according to the existing possibilities, conveyed by the Landesarbeitsamt in Jnsbruck or assigned to an East Moravian employment office for accommodation (details can be seen from the decrees of the Reichsarbeitsminister — V A 5470 of 27 September and 8 December 1939 — see Annex p. 137, 139). Because of the lack of housing throughout the territory, accommodation cannot be provided solely on the basis of work-related considerations. Labour offices must, at each call, indicate, except for the exact working conditions, whether and which housing is guaranteed. Building materials or special funds for the construction of dwellings have been made available by the general authority for the regulation of the construction industry or by the Reichsarbeitsminister. In the course of the housing shortage, the employment offices at the employment agency have to follow the living rooms provided by the canals. In order to avoid disruptions in the planned relocation, the private job offer of Reichsdeutsche Betriebsführer in Südtirol has been prohibited by Reichsförder 41⁄2, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums. Incoming job offers are to be sent to the employment office responsible for the location for the examination and clarification of the housing question. In the conversion of employed workers, account must be taken of the fact that only the redundant workers are deducted from national holdings, while the remaining workers are to be relocated closed with their holdings. The review of the political reliability necessary only in individual cases is carried out by means of a complaint at the ADERSt. in Bolzano. This finds its conclusion in cooperation with the trusting men of the ADO. and reports about the relocation office South Tyrol of the Gauleitung in Jnns-bruck to the secret state police station Jnnnsbruck, which finally decides. The employment offices receive from the result of the verification message to complete the application documents or the workbook file. Whereas, in order to increase the number of calls, it is necessary to make use of the possibility of accommodation in shelters, shelters provided, etc.; whereas it is important to point out from the entries in the call for information by the employment offices exactly in which homes the caller and his family are to be accommodated and which department of the party or state is responsible for this (see 143). Jur Creation of an overview of the South Tyroleans brought to home the employment offices report to the Reichsführer §3, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums (see Annex p. 143). Special arrangements have been made for the taking up of officials, other professional bodies, pensioners and social pensioners, and for the accommodation and care of children, the elderly, the sick, the Siechen and other civil servants, etc. Non-workable persons (see Social Care Section). On the basis of the German-Italian agreements, any Italian national of German nationality and German language can leave the Italian nationality and acquire the German and option Reich nationality if he comes from the former South Tyrol (contract territory) and feels like a German. The territory of the contract covers the Province of Bolzano, which
