If the measures taken so far by the Reichsführer as Reichskommissar for the consolidation of German ethnicity on the basis of the mandate given to him by the Führer for the steering and the possession of the Reich- and Volksdeutsche Umsiedler, the following basic aspects can be seen: 1. The Reichs- und Volks- deutschen living outside the Jnteressensphere of the Great German Reich are relocated to the Reich area according to the urgency and necessity. These valuable parts of the German people, which have since been living beyond the borders of the Reich, are thus replaced by their role as cultural fertilizers of foreign states, in order to now participate more in the construction and design of their own empire. 2. The call given by the leader to various German ethnic groups to return home to the Reich represents a complete revolutionization of the former German popular politics. While in past journeys the immigration of people Germans into the Reich area was often referred to as betrayal of the German ethnicity beyond the borders and was branded as "people's German flag flight" — whether in the absence of a clear national political goal or under the disadvantage of the conditions existing in the Reich itself — the strengthening and consolidation of German folkdom within the Reich's borders or within the German Empire stands. in the foreground of the Great German Jnteressenssphere.

But the many others who came to us left the house and the farm, they gave up a home that they often loved, the places of their childhood and the heritage of their fathers. Jhr's sense of home and their attachment to the inherited farm were surpassed by the all-conquering feeling of bloodly connectedness to the German people as a whole. This attitude proved by the Lat marks them as truly German people and guarantees them at least a moral right to a good reception in the kingdom, to a careful and careful treatment and to the provision of a healthy basis for exile. 4. As difficult as the loss of his former homeland may be for some people, so great is the ideal gain which is given to him. He loses his homeland, but he wins the kingdom. Our endeavour must be to open this view into the future to the resettled people's Germans, so that he does not begin to trust the abandoned contention under the burden of initial difficulties. It is not the ethnic group alone that makes its people and their cultural values available to the kingdom. Jn much greater is the realm of the giving leil.

For the German who has returned to Germany has the security in the new, larger homeland, the future of his children and the glüc to be able to live in the people's state of the leader.
