Mike Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I bought this several weeks ago and , I was thrilled to get it ..we never really hear that much about this group (Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle) it's hard enough finding SS ID's today but, finding one from this group and in this condition is even harder ...hope you all enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 From the Trials --Himmler, the holder of several offices, combined in one person the position of Reichsleiter of the Security Units (SS) and of Reich Commissioner for the Consolidation of Germanism (Reichskommissar fuer die Festigung des deutschen Volkstums). As such, he was charged with the leadership of all State and Party organs within Germany, which, in turn, controlled the German settlements, the work among the German Fascist minorities in other countries and the re-immigration of Germans into Germany. In this field his executive apparatus was the so-called "Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle." The leader of this organisation, and therefore the actual deputy of Himmler, in this special sphere was Obergruppenfuehrer S.S. Lorenz who will be discussed later. http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:J_2uo...us&ct=clnk&cd=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Documents 13, 14, 15: The SS is accused of the legalplundering of the occupied eastern territories. Thesedocuments show that the laws in this respect were issued bythe Trustee for the Four-Year Plan, Goering, or the Ministerof the Interior, Frick. The Reich Commissioner for theConsolidation of German Nationhood and the Office for RacialGermans (Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle) were entrusted with theresettlement and bringing back of Germans. This is shown byDocuments 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23. Documents 25,26, 30, 33, 34, 40, and Exhibit USA 674 I submit as evidencethat the Civil Service law, theDocuments 29, 36, 38, and 39 show that citizens of foreign States, in so far as they were of German descent, were notforcibly drafted into the Armies of their respectivecountries, but into the Waffen SS. This was on the strengthof State agreements.http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:urpnf...s&ct=clnk&cd=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) I've never run into any SS ID's from the "Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle." I know Rosenberg was involved in the Race and Resettlement program early on but , I don't know when Himmler to control ...a lot of reading ahead of me !

Bayern Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Curiously they not used Sutterlin .Regarding Volksdeutsche , Artur Plheps is a good example, Born in Transylvania when it belonged to Austria Hungary and of German ethnicity he was Imperial Officer in WW1 ,then Romanian ,reaching the rank of Romanian General ,he resigned for political reasons and when Romania enter in the War alongside Germany he returned to the military but inside the Waffen SS as all the Volksdeutschen who chosen not to stay into their national armies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
