The framing process based on highlighting selected aspects of reality, and on attributing them with significance when disseminating particular ideologies, ideas, and values as a vital element in the media control over released content, is the subject of research at the intersection of media studies and political science. This article attempts to analyse framing with respect to articles published in “Krakauer Zeitung” between 1939 and 1944 and concerning Volksdeutsche in the Lublin District, i.e., to reconstruct the structure of portraying this group of people, aiming at presenting specified propa-ganda contents, and a unified interpretation and assessment of reality.

The article presents the analysis of the content of the regional calendar of Beskidy County that was issued in 1941 by the German invader for Volksdeutsche who were brought in 1941 from the Eastern Galicia and Bukovina (Bessarabia) to the territory of Żywiec (Saybusch) County within the Action Saybusch (Aktion Saybusch). The calendar, published as a 375-page book, was an important element of the Nazi blood and soil (Blut und Boden) propaganda. It promoted environmental values of the region, demagogically advocated and legitimized its Germanization, and turned the settlers against the Polish nation.

The aim of the paper is the analysis of the German People’s List (German: Deutsche Volksliste, German abb. DVL, in Polish: Volkslista or Niemiecka Lista Narodowościowa, informal in Polish: Folkslista) in the region of Łódź during World War II. The Volksliste was part of the Nazi schema to re-Germanize the Łódź Germans and separate them from the influence of Polish culture and society. The main research questions are the problems of categorization of Volksdeutsche by Volksliste offices and the motivation of Germans behind rejection of the Volksliste or their application for admission to a higher category. The hypothesis about the categorisation of Germans in the Volksliste assumes that the criteria used by the Volksliste offices were insufficient and the most frequently used criteria of language and religion did not allow for a proper categorisation of the Łódź Germans. According to the author there existed many reasons for people to accept the Volksliste (they were also sometimes forced to accept it) or to apply for admission to a higher category, the economic reasons being the most important ones – the desire to preserve one’s wealth or job, or to maintain one’s social position. The article is based on various archival sources: the German administration documents from Łódź, Poznań, and Warsaw archives as well as the ego-documents, such as complaints about too low a category on the Volksliste (the case of Oskar Ambroży Klikar).

This article analyses the German National List (Deutsche Volksliste) compiled in the Łódź region during the Second World War. The Volksliste was part of the Nazis’ plans to re-Germanise the Łódź Germans and to separate them from the influence of Polish culture and society. The main questions addressed are the categorisation of Volksdeutsche by the Volksliste offices, and the motivations of Germans who rejected the list or applied for admission to a higher category. It is hypothesised that the criteria used for categorisation were insufficient, and that the most frequently applied criteria – language and religion – did not enable an adequate categorisation of the Łódź Germans. People accepted the list for many different reasons (in some cases they were compelled to do so), the most important reasons being economic ones – a desire to preserve one’s wealth, profession or social position. The article is based on various archival sources, including documents of the German administration from archives in Łódź, Poznań, and Warsaw, as well as documents submitted by applicants, as in the case of Oskar Ambroży Klikar, who appealed against his assignment to a low Volksliste category.

The German troops’ large-scale retreat on the Eastern Front was accompanied by a substantial population outflow from the occupied regions of the USSR. The German Mennonites (approx. 35,000 people) preferred to obey the occupiers’ order and evacuate to the west in the autumn of 1943. Several thousands of them were transported in echelons directly to Warthegau and the region of Danzig. The remaining part of deportees had to sustain a difficult and dramatic route in the convoys. The Nazi leadership planned to use them as settlers or labour force on the annexed Western Polish lands. After the end of the Second World War, most of the Mennonites were forcibly repatriated to the USSR; others succeeded in emigrating to Canada or Latin America.

Volksdeutsche, czyli Niemcy mieszkający poza Rzeszą, zajmowali kluczowe miejsce w planach narodowosocjalistycznych przywódców w zakresie organizacji zarządzania okupowanymi obszarami na Wschodzie. Stanowili oni główną ludzką rezerwę dla germanizacji Polski i niektórych obszarów ZSRR. Podstawowym zadaniem władz III Rzeszy było uczynienie z wielokulturowego i wielojęzycznego kontyngentu volksdeutschów jednolitej językowo i ideologicznie ludzkiej masy spełniającej standardy właściwe ludności „starej” Rzeszy. Poziom znajomości języka niemieckiego odegrał ważną rolę w określeniu statusu volksdeutschy w nowej sytuacji społecznej, a ich dwujęzyczność uczyniła z nich ważne ogniwo w pośrednictwie między władzami okupacyjnymi a lokalną ludnością na okupowanych terenach.

Volksdeutsche, i.e. Germans who lived outside the Reich occupied a key place in the plans of the Nazi leadership for the organization of the eastern occupied territories. They were the main human reserve for the Germanization of Poland and some areas of the USSR. The primary task for the German authorities was to bring the multicultural and multilingual contingent of Volksdeutsche to the linguistic and ideological standards inherent in the population of the “old” Reich. The level of German language proficiency played an important role in determining the status of Volksdeutsche in the new social situation for them, and their bilingualism made them an important link in the mediation between the occupation authorities and the local population of the occupied territories.
