Reichsgau Wartheland: In addition to the general order and security service, all units of the police were used to evacuate, to monitor food exports from Warthe Land, to combat smuggling, the a c r aar dr r tea follow-up. During the reporting period, 8 654 Poles were evacuated in the Gau area and in the Reg.-Bez. Litzmannstadt l82 resettled Polish families. The coercion of the Polish population by the resettlements has already become a special problem in some urban areas, which absolutely needs help if there is not to be a danger for the entire population. 9 % of all cellars in Poznan are occupied by Poland, so that it is not possible to convert the cellars into air shelters. The gendarmerie has proved its worth in the settlement of German returnees in the countryside by helping these Germans to accommodate in the farms and to provide them with the first food and other uses. In some cases the settlers had arrived in the villages before the evacuations of the Poles, so that the competent police authorities had to take immediate relief measures. The always helpful approach of the gendarmerie was recognized by the settlers and led them to always come with their needs and concerns to the gentlemen with confidence.
