English Translation

170 Vyškovska, Boskovicka and Prostějovska evicted 33 municipalities, which had to leave over 18 000 inhabitants. This space was to become a model platform for the future German settlement of Bohemia and Moravia. Eviction of the Czech population from dozens of municipalities was in line with the intentions of the Nazis to create a so-called German earth bridge from the north to Prague, i.e. To make the territory between Prague and Litoměřice, further create a German dam leading through Prague, Brno, Olomouc all the way to Ostrava, with the German area in Jihlava. In South Moravia, the Nazis wanted to colonize the areas south of Brno and so connect them with Austrian County. The Czech nation was to be gradually divided into small isolated units and in the future assimilated by the German element. (463) An irreplaceable role on the road to the final goal of future land policy, i.e. to "the penetration of the Protectorate by German peasants" was played by the Germans controlled Land Office for Bohemia and Moravia, which was established by the Government Decree No. 241/1942 Coll. of 24 April (464) respectively, the original land office abolished by the government regulation No. 25/1935 Coll. The seat of the land office was Prague. The implementing regulation, i.e. the decree of the head of the estate office no.35/1943 Coll. from 26 August (465) was established according to judicial districts. Confiscation took place in short proceedings and often in bulk for the entire cadastral municipalities. During the occupation, the Land Office confiscated 16 000 holdings for future German settlers in the total area of 550 000 ha, 80,000 ha then occupied for military bases and even this land was to be inhabited by Germans after the war.
