23 The Reichsführer 4 Neichskommissar für die Festigung Berlin, 13 November 1939. German Folktschafts Zgb.-Nr. AR/1240/52 RF/V. Ordnung Nr. 8/I It was reported to me that the Wolhynia Germans had to quarantine for 4 weeks after arrival due to the Flecktyphus-schlufung. This complicates the whole Wolhynia-remigration- and accommodation problem, since Lodz has only Plaß for 20 000 return-migrants. Thus, I determine the following: 1. The return-migrators, who come on foot, with cars, cars and by train from Wolhyria and Galicia, are led in the ordered way to Lodze. 2. Until further notice, the immigration office in Gotenhafen has to transfer its siss to Lodz and treat the return migrants there. 3. As soon as all the duties of the immigrant headquarters in LodZ have been completed, the Volks- deutsche Mittelstelle ensures the removal to the repatriation camps on the former German eastern border, where the quarantine is to be carried out. 4. This reduces the number of sleep places to be built in a new camp near Lodz to 10 000. This camp with 10 000 places or a vacated quarter of the city of Lodze must be produced in the shortest time for the reception.
