32/231 Although this was not possible, the decisions were taken as generously as possible. We believed, as long as it was to be responsible for giving all returnees the opportunity to prove themselves under the new conditions in the empire. They had so far used up a large part of their forces in the political-völkish defense struggle. This is why we expected them to be all the more spiritually productive. Almost without exception, this hope, as the experiences of the first trimester of 1940 show, has been fulfilled. For the admission to the special funding, the right of proposal known from the general funding was granted solely to the student leadership Poznan. Only applications were processed for which a proposal for admission was submitted by the Baltendeutsche Abteilung or the Abtrag für volksdeutsche Studenten aus dem exer Polen in der Studentenführung. The Studentenwerk then clarified the character-scientific and economic assumptions.« (Ruszug from the report Dr. Ackermann, Poznan.) The South Tyroleans, who mainly come from small peasant families, had to be accepted into the promotion almost without exception. Since the transfer of parental differences is not yet decided, a support from this side or a advance by the Reichsstudentenwerk can take place only later. 9. Grant bon resettlementarlehn. The Reichsstudentenwerk had initially expected that a larger part of the Baltic German students, whose parental assets are managed by the German Resettlement Trust G. m. b. H. (DUT.), could conduct their studies without any support. However, it turned out that the loans given by the DUT. were not sufficient for this. The DUT. (Dr. Breden- Breuker) agreed on the principle of the proposals of the Reich Studentenwerk. The Darlehn should be awarded according to the conditions of the Darlehner Promotion of the Reichsstudentenwerk; as a security a perfönal guarantee should be given and additionally by the DUT. the assets managed by it in the amount of the Dutlehn be secured. The provision of the resources necessary for the expenditure of this Umleigungsdarlehn by the German DUT . The Reichsstudentenwerk is willing to take over this and has asked the Reichseducational Ministry for approval. Until the decision of the Reich Ministry of Education, the promotion will take effect with effect from the II. From 1940 onwards, students who, according to the assets of their parents, could take up their studies themselves, will be granted Darlehnsborbehalt. After the approval of the Reich Ministry of Education, this advance grant will be converted into Darlehner. 10. Implementation of the grant. "Even today, certain difficulties still make the examination of the need by submitting the proof of assets, since there are no documents available at the relevant tax offices. In many cases, the income relations of the parents are completely unexplained, since they are often loyally active in enterprises and shops or are not at all absorbed. Because of this ambiguity, in cases where assets exist or appear to be present, funding is granted under the reservation of Darlehn. Furthermore, each Baltic German sponsor must undertake in writing to inform the Studentenwerk immediately if something has changed in his or her parents' economic situation. Even in cases where the parents of the repatriation students are not relocated, difficulties arise. Even if they have the necessary funds to study their sons, the question of remittance is unclear during the war. These students are initially also supported under Darlehn's reservation.
