At the same time, the care of the children and infants found in kindergartens and the accommodation of the elderly who are unable to work, with the exception of the frail and the sick, is the responsibility of the care provider. I ask him to take over the care and care of sick, pregnant and childbearing, and of those in need of treatment. He also provides the umfiedlers with health and hygiene from the border of the Reich to the embassies.« Collected prayer 2. The execution of the collective care of the Umsiedler from Volhynia, Galicia and that of the Wolhynia-Narew area is in accordance with the order 2/VI of the "Reichsführer 4, Reichskommissar für die dentschen Festigung deutschen Volkstums, of 30 October 1939 — Tgb.

German Folketing "For the care and provision of the arrived rich and folk German settlers from South Tyrol, I first sat on various carriers. These are: 1. For the Gau Tirol-Vorarlberg, the Gauleitung. 2. For the accommodation of the canal Germans in the Gau Kärnten the Gauleitung Carinthia. 3. As far as the Rewandererheime of the AO. are available outside of this Gaue for the temporary accommodation of South Tyroleans, the Remigranteramt of the O.A. of the NSDAP. If South Tyroleans in other areas are jettisoned, this is done by means of the work-in and housing mediation procedure set up for this purpose. As far as care measures are necessary in the context of collective care (especially clothing, not against financial care, e.g. pocket money), I ask the NSV. to take over this task immediately. In addition, I ask the NSV. to take care of the South Tyroleans in case of their accommodation in individual quarters so long (especially food and clothing) until the Umsiedler-Kirzfürsorge intervenes.
