The article looks at the ideology meant to justify a few years long Nazi domination over most of Europe- Blood and Soil doctrine. It was created from a 19th century concept about the superiority of the German breed and the need for the extension of Lebensraum, ‘living space’ for the German people. The integration was achieved by the annihilation of Slavs and Jews, as well as mass removal and Germanization of the natives of the Eastern parts of the European continent. These Germanization tendencies are presented by the example of the fates of people whose land was annexed to the Third Reich. The theoretical basis for the Nazi policies for people were laid by programs amended according to the situation on the front. The most important ones are thoroughly analyzed in this article.

Rolf-Heinz Höppner was a German official and a member of young Nazi intellectuals and experts, who created the population and national policy. During the German occupation in Poland he was a head of Security Service of SS in Poznań. He headed also another institution. The position that he held gave him a real impact on the policies pursued against the population in the occupied territories. His activities included: gathering information on the moods of the people of the Wartegau, organizing the expulsions of Poles and Jews to the General Government and conducting germanization policy against the Poles. He is best known, however, as the author of a note to Adolf Eichmann from 1941, in which he described the possible ways of using and exterminating the Jewish population. This article is an attempt at a biographical description of Höppner’s activities. First, the stages of political socialization and the first political experiences of German are described. The second and largest part of the text is the characteristics of his activity in the Wartegau. Than are presented his post-war fates and attempts — taken by the Polish and German jurisdiction — to judge and punish Höppner for the committed crimes.

The article presents the character and activity of Antoni Alojzy Gąsiorowski, editor, publisher, bookseller, issuer and printer operating chiefly in Masuria. Born to a Polish family, initially acted to the benefit of Poland and national identity. Later on, due to economic and personal reasons, he changed his attitude and became a livid supporter of germanisation. Hefocused his publishing activity on books and journals issued both in Polish and German. Undoubtedly, his greatest editorial achievement was the "Kurek Mazurski", in German "Der masurische Hahn", issued at first in Szczytno, then in Jańsbork (now Pisz) as a result of moving the publishing house. Despite his actions, Gąsiorowski may be seen as an advocate of the Polish identity in Masuria; the works he published, though written in poor Polish, acted to the benefit of popularising the Polish language among local inhabitants of Masuria.
