English Translation

L - 7 - Organizations, but also in membership of Polish political parties, is usually a commitment to the Polish people. The fact that parents who sent their children to a German school during the Polish period in order to give proof of their German attitude is already emphasized; however, the visit of the Polish school by German children does not necessarily produce the assumption that the parents have entered into ties to the Polish system. In many places, especially in the countryside, the possibility of attending a German school was not possible at all. In other cases, the visit of the German school was not permitted as a result of the conflicting provisions of Polish law; German Catholic children were only allowed to attend a Catholic school in certain areas of law, but not an existing German school. In many cases, the visit of the Polish school has also been forced by severe economic pressure on parents, and in these cases it is essential that the parents have given the children at home as much as possible for the use of the German language. However, where parents sent their children to the Polish school despite the existence of a German school without need, this provides an important indication of the Polish attitude of their parents. The absence of an option for Germany does not imply any ties to Polishism, since the Germans were advised not to opt for Germany in the areas that were then separated from the official German authorities in the interests of preserving Germanism. The fact that Polish nationality was acquired by naturalisation in accordance with the application suggests that Polish recruitment should be accepted; however, this assumption may be waived in a number of cases by explaining the reasons which led to the opinion of the request for naturalisation.
