- 7 - 07 B. Guiding principles for practice. 1. Our work and commitment serves the freedom of life of our grandchildren. Therefore, it is absurd to grant rights to any groups of foreign people that go beyond what is necessary and serve only to secure our lives. 2. In practice, in most border regions there are also the so-called "German-foreign-völkish intermediate strata" between the clearly German and clearly foreign-völkian sections of the population. Since these partly consist of half-German Germans, partly of people of foreign ethnic origin, partly from mixed ethnic marriages and their inter- ethnic descendants, their value is to be estimated exclusively on the basis of ethnic racial points of view and only after examination of each individual, mostly a family incomprehensive case. If they really appear repopular (after life probation, life order, professional achievement, character, racial appearance), then there are no doubts about their complete Germanization. 3. In principle, all members of the intermediate strata and of the groups of foreign people, who are genuinely repopular and can be separated, must not be left in the border area, if possible also not in the frontier area, but must be transferred to the internal realm. Since the German population of the Franconian, Aleman-Swabian and Hessian regions tends to be most open to strangers, the final Germanization of valuable foreign peoples is to take place mainly in South, South-West and West Germany, e.g. Rhine-Main-Neckar- area, if possible not in the Lower German area, eg. transfer of civil servants e. g. In the Swabian small towns, never to northern Germany. In the case of peasant intermediates, it would be reasonable to proceed accordingly. 4. Social rise of the German-speaking people must in principle only be possible in the internal kingdom and also here as much as possible - 8 -
