39 of the province of East Prussia, namely the occupation in Gdansk-West Prussia is carried out in accordance with the settlement zone I, in East Prussia in the administrative district of Zichenau. On the basis of the available documents on the professional composition of the German Volts group members as well as on the soil conditions in the individual Lithuanian circles, the Lithuanian Germans are distributed to the Gaue Ostpreußen and Gdańsk West Prussia as follows. Jn the Gau Danzig West Prussia are fed to the People's Germans from the Lithuanian circles: Sakiai .... (Districts 8 and 9), Rassainiai . . .. . . , . . (districts 10), (dictions 11 and 12). In the Gau Ostpreußen, the people's Germans from the other districts of Lithuania are located: (division 1), Kaunas-City Kauna s-Land .. (dilocals 2), Kedainiai ... (local area 2), Mariampolé . (local areas 3 and 4), Vilkauviskis . . (Local areas 5, 6 and 7), Kretinga .... (Oris area 13), Tellsiai .... (local region 13), Mazeikiai . .(local area 13) Siauliai .. (local zone 14), Birzai ... (Local area 15), Panevezys (local district 15), Rokischkis . (urban area 15) Utena ... (urban zone 15), Vilnius . . . (local area 16), Ukmerge .... . (local zone 16), Seinai .. .. (local region 16), Alytus ... . (regional area 16). The above division of the German ethnic group between the two settlements is based on the following considerations: a) The agricultural members of the german ethnic group will be consulted with the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter in Gdańsk-West Prussia or. the Gauleiter and chief president of the province of East Prussia distributed about half each on the two Gaue, while the province East Prussia is assigned the greater part of the non-agricultural population. These aspects have been largely taken into account in the foregoing breakdown: Jm Gau Danzig-West Prussia is settled about half of the agricultural population, in East Prussia about two thirds of the non-agricultural population. (b) As can be seen from a comparison between the Yhnen already available map of the soil conditions in Lithuania and the above plan of the Lithuania-German distribution between the two settlements, the people-German farmers of good, medium and bad soils are distributed roughly equally between Gdansk-West-Prussia and East Prussia. (c) The need to preserve the home values and clan communities requires the allocation of closed circles or local areas to the individual settlement areas.
