We informed him about the measures taken so far to accommodate the people's Germans from the Serbian Banat. # Standartenführer Fischer explains that the protectorate can still accept 5.ooo folk Germans from the Romanian Banat, since according to the report of the Volksdeutsche- Mittelstelle the number of aus the Serbian Banat led back to the former population remains behind the original estimates. The total number of Germans to be placed in the Protectorate at first would then be about 25,000, but at most 30.ooo.
