98-660 G E Q P R E S S_ No.358 (41/13) February 194l MODERNE VOLUME CHANGE (IMPLEMENTATIONS IN EUROPE 1939-1941) The territorial changes that have taken place since the outbreak of the war have resulted in extensive relocations. Germany has relocated the German minorities from the Baltic, 'formerly Polish and Romanian territories annexed to the Soviet Union, to the territory of the Reiché, as well as the Germans from the South Bukovina and North Dobruja remaining in Romania, and from the Italian dtirol, The Rüçwanderer were mainly resettled in the eastern areas newly connected to Germany, to a small extent in Lorraine.- A resettlement in the opposite direction was carried out in the direction of the transfer of the Russian and Ukrainian population from the former Polish territories occupied by Germany to the USSR, and by the repatriation of the Bessarabi in Romania after the Soviet Besarabia. The fact that Alsace and the Kingdom were incorporated into the empire led to the transfer of a large number of Lothringer to France. Almost the entire population of the territories which were transferred from Finland to the Soviet Union moved to Finland. Finally, in the course of the transfer of South Dobruja to Bulgaria, a population exchange between Romania and Bulgaria took place. On the map, the figures indicate the resettlements in Zausden. The numerically difficult-to-control relocations between Germany and the general government of the occupied territories in Poland, are not taken into account.
