- 1 - c•. Statement of Ev1dence. 1. Lebensraum as the Goal of Nazi Foreign Policy.
Many years before the war, leaders of the National
Socialist Party demanded living space for the German people.
This requirement was considered by them to be the goal ~f foreign policy..

2~ Conspiracy to Conquer and Germanise FGreign Territories.
One of the main purposes of the defendants in planning and waging war was to gain additional territory. Conquered areas were to be made German territories by the evacuation ot German- lsation of inhabitants and by colonisation and settlement by people of German blood.
"In the East Germany is carrying on a three-fold wart a war for the destruction of Bolshevism, a war for the destruction of the greater Russian Empire and finally a war for the acquisition of colonial territory for colonizing purposes and economic exploitation."
294-fS. Copy of memorandum from Rosenberg f11es, 25 October 1942. signed Braeutigam.
This plan and purpose were fully expressed in the minutes of a conference at the Fuehrer's Headquarters, 16 July 1941, concerning the war in the East, attended by Hitler, Goering,
Keitel, Rosenberg, Lammers and Bormann. which contained the follOWing statements:
"New it was essential that we did not publicize our aims before the world ." The main thing was that we oU4selvee knew what we wanted."
- 2- ItTherefore we shall emphasize again that we were forced to occupy, administer, and secure a certain area; it was in the interests of ,the inhabitants that we provided order, food, traffic etc.; hence our meaeures. Nobody shall be able to recognize that 1t initiates a final settlement. If
"Therefore we shall act as though we wanted to exercise a mandate only. At the same time ~ mue, know clearly that we shall never leave those countries. 1I liOn principle we have now to face the task of cutting up the giant cake according to our needs, in order to be able
first, to dominate it, second, to administer it, and third, to exploltit. II
liThe Crimea has to be evacuated by all foreigners and to be sett~ed by Germans only.
In the same way the former Austrian part of Galicia will become Reich territory."
"Never again must it be possible to create a military power west of the Urals ••• We must never permit anybody but the Germane to carry a.rms. 1I
"rxhe Fuehrer emphasizes that the entire Baltio country will have to be incorporated~into.. Gerpuany.
At the same time the Crimea, inoluding a con siderable hinterland (situated north of the Crimea) should become Reich territory; the hinterland should be-as large as possib1e.".
liThe Fuehrer emphasizes furthermore that the Volga Colony too will have to become Reich territory, 8.1S0 the district around :Baku; the latter will have to become a German concession (.military colony)."

In a diacussion with Rosenberg, Reich Minister for the
Occupied Eastern Territories, on 14 December 19~1, Hitler emphasized that he wished t9 have the Crimea cleaned-'out, and
Rosenberg stated that he had given much consideration to pro- viding the towns in that area with German names.
15l?-PS. Original memorandum of conference with Hitler 14 December 1941, signed by Rosenberg.
~n a speech delivered 20 June 1941, Rosenberg stated that nt part of the food produced in the southern territories of the
- :3 - USSR and the northern craucasus would be used to feed the inhabi- tants. Consequently extensive evacuations would have to be planned and carried out in order to effect "conversion of Russian dynamics to"Tard the East". 1058-PS. Copy of speech by Eosenberg, 20 June 1941.
The defendantsJplan to conquer and Germaniee was elaborated in detail with respect to Ozechoslovakia. The solution of the
"Czech Problem", as planned by K. H. Frank. Reich Protector of
Bohemia and Moravia, was to absorb approximatelY half the Czech population in Germany by means of an increased labor draft and dispersion of the closely knit C~ech people. The other half of
the Czech population, not considered desirable on racial or
other grounds, was to be eli~inated or expelled from the country. particularly the educated class of people who might be expected
to hinder the program of Germanisation. All elements actively
opposed to Germanisation were to be dealt" with sharply and
eliminated. This solution of the "Czech Problem" wae approved
by Hitler, who directed that while retaining outwardly the
autonomy of the Pro~ectorate, the Germanisation of the Czech
population must be systematically fostered by the Reich Protector
for years to come. This solution wae also endorsed by the
Wehrmacht, since it wae a policy which the Wehrmacht had always advocated.,

A similar program of Germanisation wae planned for the
Eastern areas, inclUding the settlement of German farmers in former Polish territories, in order to form bulwarks of German culture and to encircle the Polish population, thus accelerating
the process of Germanisation. During the first 5 years after the war, it was planned to fill the Eastern territories with
German people and to supply the Crimea and the Ealtic States with at least a. German upper class" -4- O~py ()f Notea on H~mmlerte Plan !(;)r ttl/) GEJ~mlanieatlon of rolard. ~7 a.nd :30 Me.r--ch 1~~2. ffom' the ~,1n C(tiee. !nter1~r b~~1pt&t~t~on, ~v9r~.$nt Gen~rei; ~n1t1e.led'.Dr. S. J."

The nature of the problem of resettlement and Germanisation was further described in the same volume by S5 6bergruppen fuehrer and General des Polizei Wilhelm Koppe:
.IThe victory of the German weapons in the East must therefore be followed by the victory of the German race over the Polish race, if the regained Eastern sphere according to the Fuehrer's will henceforth shall for all time remain an essential constituent part of the Greater German Reieh.
It ia therefore of decisive importance to penetrate the regained German region with German farmers, laborers, civil servants, merchants and handi~ craftmen in order for a liVing and sti~l deep rooted bastion of G~rman pe9ple to be formed as a protectiv~ wall aga~n8i foreign infiltra- tion and possibly as a starting position f~r the racial penetration of the tertitoriee farther east.

4. Basic Theories and Plans of the Re!cb COmmissioner for the Consolidation of German Nationhood. , • Hi~nler regarded the question of blood ae the paramount consideration in the treatment of conquered territor1es, races arid peopl~6j tn h speech at KharkoT in April 1943, he said:
""fe have ••. taken the quesiion of blood fl,S our starting point ••• Fot us the question of blood was a reminder of our worth; a r~minder of what is actually the baeis holding this Getman people together. II
19l9-PS. Speech of Hiomler at Xharkov, April 1943.
It was Hi~ler'e policy to treat all peoples of foreign blood with utmost. contempt. Such peoples were to be destroyed,
except for those valuable as slaves and those ~ho might con-
stitute valuable additions to the German race by virtue of
their racial background. In a speech at Bad Schachen, 14 October~;' 1943, he said: "I consider that in dealing with members of a foreign. especially some Slav, nationality we must not start from German points of vi~w and we must nct endow these people with decent German thoughts and logical conclusions of which they are not capable, but we must take them as they really are.
ObViously in such a oixture of peoples there will always be some racially good types. There fore I think that it ~s our duty to take their children with us, to remove them from their environment, if necessary by fobbing or stealing them ••• Either we wi~ over any good blood that we can Use for ourselves and give it a place in our people, or , •• we destroy this blood." 1-70. Speech by Himmler at Bad Schachen. 14 October 1943.
See also, 1919-PS. SpeeCh by Hi~lller at Posen, 4 October 1943. On the basis of this philosophy of blood, Himmler planned to create a Germanic Reich which would include almost all of
Europe. One of the important instruments in bringing about this Germanic union was to be the Germanic SS, comprised of persona
of German blood in the various' conquered and occupied territories. An elite class of Germanic people, selected from ell of Europe on the basis of race and blood, was to be welded to the German
- 7-
\ .?t, I~. people in the old Ger~an Reich, and this chosen Germanic people
was to oc~upy, rule and enjoy all of Europe. In expressing these
ideas at Posen, 4 October 1943, Rimmler said:
"If the peace 15 E'~ final one, we shall be able to tackle our great work of the future. We shall colonise ••• In twenty to thirty years we must really be able to present the whole of ~9pe with its leading class. If the 55, together with the farmers ••• then run the colony in the East on a grand scale without any restraint, without any question about any kind of tradition and with nerve and revolutionary iapetus, we shall in twenty years push the national boundary 500 kilometers eastwards. 1I
1919-PS, Speech by Him~ler at Posen, 4 October 1943.
5i~ilar ideas were expressed by Himmler 1~ his speech at Bad
Schacheu, 14 October 1943;
"For us the end of this war will mean an open road to the East, the oreation of the Germanic Reich in this way or that •.• the fetching hooe of 30 million human beings of our blood, so that still during our lifetime we shall be a people of 120 million Germanic souls. That ~eans that we shall be the sole and decisive power in Europe. That means that we shall then be able to tackle the peace, during which we shall be Willing for the first twenty years to re-build and spread out our Villages and towns, and that we shall push the borders of our German race 500 kilometers further out to the East."

5. Germanisation of, the Incotporated,Eastern Territories.
The Germanisation of the Incorporated Eastern Territories
was accomplished by means" of the Racial Register, which was a
statutory expression of Himmler's philosophy of blood as the
basis of racial selection. By decree of 12 September 1940, d::i Rimmler, as Reich Coooissioner for the Consolidation of German
Nationhood, provided for the screening and classification of tbe population of the Incorporated Eastern Territories on the basis
of race-. The eB.sential provisions of this directive were later
incorporated in the decree of 4 March 1941, signed by Frick, Hess
and Hi~~ler, which established the German Racial Register for
the population of the Incorporated Eastern Territories. All persons of German blood were to be listed on the Racial Register in one of these classes: ... 8-- Class I- Germans who had been active German nationalists.
Class II Racial Germans who had not been politically active.
Class III - Persons of German blood, willing to accept Germanisation.
Class IV - Persons of German blood resistant to Germanisa tion.
,- Members of Classes + and II were to become German SUbjects and German citizens; members of Class III were to become German
subjects; me~bers of Class IV were to become German subjects on
probation. It was decreed that members of Classes III and IV
must be removed to the old German Reich for Germanisation.
Persons not included in the Racial Register were called "pro_
tected subjects" of the German ReiCh, and might also be selected
for Germanisation if deemed eligible on the basis of tests in- volving considerations of health, nationality, race and politics. 29l6-PS.

liThe removal of foreign races froe the Incorporated Eastern Territories is one of the most essential goals to b~ r~ached in the German East. There are, . therefore, mainly the two following reasons which nake the regaining of lost German blood an urgent necessity.
Ill. Prevention of a further increase of the· Polish intelligentsia by families German by descent but Polonized.
112. A greater increase of the population of the German nation in the way of racially desirable elements. and the acquisition of national biological unobjectionable forces for the reconstruction of agriculture and industry.1I

atory legisl~ti~n. A decree. signed by Goering. as Chairman,of (\' the' Oouncil of Ministers for the Defense of the Reich. and I Commissioner for the Four-Year Plan, on 17 September 1940, provided in Sectjon 1 (1):
,.lI~he prope:t'ty of c1tizens of the former Polish \ State within the territory' of, the Greater German RReich. including the Incorporated Eastern Terri tories, shall be subject to sequestration. trustee administration. and confiscatton in accordance with the following provisions. 1I Section 2 (2) provid:ed:
"Seque,stration nay be ordered:

lISequestrated.p~operty may be confiscated ••• fC\r the benefit of the German Reich if the pUblic welfare, particu~arly the defense of the Reich, or the strengthening of Germanism, BO requires."
However, it was provided in Section 1 (2) that the decree should
not apply 'to the property of persons who had acquired German
nationality•. Hence only the property of Poles was subject to
sequestrat~on, trustee action and confiscation in accordance with
the terms of the Decree.

"The conditions permitting seizure according to Section 2, Subsection 2, are always prespnt if the property belongs to a Pole•. For the Polish real estate will be needed without exception for the consolidation of German natibMood. tl These instructions further prOVided that persons in Classes It!
and IV'of the Racial Register were not considered Ger~an
nationa1e and hence were not excepted from the terns of the \ decree. However. it was etated that the possibility of con I , fiscating the property of persons in Classes II! and tv "will \ not be used until further notice since we intend to Germanise , the mer:1bers of these groups ae far as p.()ssible. tt I1'll" this
connection, it had preViously been recommended in a letter tc
I, Himmler, that persons in Classes III and IV in' the Incorporated
Eastern Territories be deprived of their property in the interests \ of Germanising the country as quickly as possible, because far~e
and business institutions were urgently needed for G~rman
resettlere and because persons in Olae.ses III and lV should
b~ transferred to the old Reich for Germanieation. As of
31 May 1943~ 693,252 farms and e~tatee in the Incorporated
Eastern Territoriee, .comprising 6,097,525.68 hectares, had been
seized, and 9,508 farms and estates in the Incorporated Eastern

- 12- A program for the treatment of former Polish territories
was proposed in a secret thesis fron the Academy of German Law in January 1940. This plan prOVided for extensive" de-
portations fro~ the territories annexed to Gernany and the
settlement of Geroan populations, in those areas. Poles were
to be diminished in numbers by deportation of Jewe, 1ntellec~uale
and leaders of the Polish econony, and by measures to discourage
and stifle Polish propagation. The fertility of the Polish
people was to be reduced by ke.eping hundreds of thousands of - Polish workers in Germany for forced labor, and by employing
one olllion Poles in Germe,ny as wandering agricultural workers.

66l-PS. Secret thesis from the Academy of German Law, January 1940.
The program for the adDinistration of Poland advocated in the foregoing'thesis was followed by Frank in his capacity as
Governor Gen~ral. In describing his responsibilities for the
administration of Poland, 3 October 1939, Frank said:
ltPoland shall be treated; as a colcny."
"The Poles shall be the slaves of the Greater German "'orld Eopire. 1I
It, was Frnnk's opinion that proper administration of the terri
tory coomitted to his charge consisted of ruthless exploitation,
deportation to Germany of Polish workers and all materials,
machines and factory installations of importance to the German ./ War economy. reduction of the entire Polish econony to the
/ absolute minimum necessary for the bare existence of the popu-
- 13 - I• lation, and the closing of all eduqational institutions to
/ prevent the development of a new Polish intelligentsia.

Concerning the prograo of Gernanisation in the Government
General, which w~s an important objective of his administration,
Frank said in certain of his speeches:
liThe whole Vistula shall be as German as the Rhine. II'
"We are not the foreigners here. we must consider ourselves as the men at home and that we are surrounded by 18 million foreigners." I aIt is understood, that the ~eaneet of us will be higher' in status than the most distinguished Pole. II

From a report of Frank, to Hitler on the sit~tion in
Poland, 19 June 1943, it is apparent that the foregoing prin-
ciplee of adminietre.tion were followed in practice" Frank
stated in his report that a great part of the Polish estates I had been confiscated and that Polish peasants had been expelled
froD oaneuver areas and from Gernan settlements and their
property e~ropriated without coopensation. Cultural activities
in the Governoent Gen~ral were in a state of paralysis, high
schools, colleges and universities were closed, and Polish
influence had been completely eliminated from tne\ adminietra-
t10n of the Governm~nt General.
~37-PS. Copy of report by Frank to Hitler, 19 June 1943.
The program of Germanisation in the Government General was
further effectuated by the evacuation of Poles, the resettlement
of Germans, and by legislation designed to foster and encourage
the propagation of persona cf Ger,man blood. An order concerning
the granting of ohild_subsidies to Germans in the Government
General was signed by Frank on.lO Ma~ch 1942. Subsidies were
~ayable only in the event the head of the household was a German
national or a person of German origin. ~ ~'14 ~ 6l9?7-PS. Order· concerning the Granting of Child Subsidies to Germane in the Government General,' 10 Ma.rch 1942•.Verordnungeblatt fUr dae Generalgouvernement 1942, No. 23, p.125.' .

... 15 - 7. Ge~anisation of the Occupied Etlstern T~rritories. i
{ , In the Occupied Eastern Territories, Rosenberg was
mainly responsible for the program of Germanisation, in
his capacity as Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern
Territories. Fertility and propagation among ,the con-
quered peoples were discouraged, and no hygienic measures
were taken in the interests of the native population except • when necessary to prevent the spread of epidemics to the
occupying forces and the essential labor supply.
042~S. Oopy of report from Rosenberg to Hitler, 11 .ti.ueust 1942.
The influence of Polish inhabitants of the Occupied
Eastern Territories in matters of administratio~, culture
and the economy was to be el~linated completely in accord- I 'I ancs with a secret memorandum of 26 November 1942, from
Rusenberg to the Reich COIDnissioners for the Eastland and
the Ukraino, which provided:
ttl. ~~s quickly and completely as possible all Jloles are to be romoved from po sitions which afford an insight into the essential political and economic sotup or which in somo form or other gives them important influonce in matters of afuainistrQtion, culture or economy. In particular mayors, Kreis-and-Rayoll chiefs of Polish nationalit1 or prO-POlish leaders of larger industrial plants and estates will be dismisscd and replaccd by mom bers of other nationalities (Lithu anians, iihite Ruthenians, Ukrainians). T:'1~ 1;;tu.C holds for parsons of Polish nationality holding positions in tho G~rman or native administration es pecially for former students, teachers, clerics, and other members of the Polish intelligentsia.
2. In view of the enormous tasks which have to be perforrrled in the Occupied ~astorn Torritories, the dismissed ~oles will be used in other fields, just as generally the ~lployment of the Polish population in agriculture and other fields invol ving the insurance of the food supply and military oconomy is to bo guaranteed.
16 3. The Polish school system will not be d~veloped and extended beyond four years of prliaary school. Exceptions, in military technical tx,aining may bo, adm~tted.
4. No Polish nevTspapcrs, periodicals and pamphlets arc to be founded. The newspaper ~Ooniec CodzionnY"publishod in Polish under German supervision is to be distributed exclusively to Poles living in the Wllna district.
5. Tho Polish language. is to be used only in those localities which have an un disputed Polish majority. It .r.lust neither be putcn the same levol nor bo preferred to the use of Lithuanian, W::itc...Ruthenian or Ukrainian."
~c. 336. Co~y of secret memorandum from Rosonberg to Reich C(J~lrJissioners for tho Ecstland and Ulcraine, 26 Nov.:l,nber 1942.
~~s Rosonberg well knew,. the Occupied Eastern Tcrri-
tories were administered by his subordinates as colonies.
~l:'~ilc not objecting to such adninistrative policies,
Roscubere did object to indiscreot·public statoments con-
'cerning the policy by his subordinates, particularly Koch,
Ruicl'. CO:,1r.llssioncr for the UJ~raine. In c.. secret report
to Dr. Lc..'!L(;rc, Beic:. I..Iij:Licter and Chi'"f ef the Reich Che.::-
c~llcry,. RV6enbcre quoted as follows from a circular of \ Koch published 20 Fobrucry 1943:
n'lihoever believes that he can got grati tude from the Slr~vs· bl::cauoe of uild treatment did not form his political ex perience in the No.til.mal Sociulist Pcrty or in ,tho Eastern S~rvicv but in sone club of the intelligentsia. Tho Slav uill always interpret mild treatment as weakness. 1t
~lith respect to this quotation, RosenborE; said in his rc-
port to Lc.::ll.:ers:
"It is not c. oatter of haVing or not haVing consideration for the feelings of the Slavic nations, but a matter of an official polit ical document from a HiGh Commissioner of tho Reich and Gculuitcr, that sent away in thousands of copies it could become in the ha.1'J.ds of"!ho enemy an extraordinary weapon against tho policy of tho Reich."
17 ~lso o~ tholsubject of administration in the Occupiod
East~rn Territories; Rosenbere quoted from his decree of
13 Mc.y 1942, in his report to LElJ'!'.crs:
"No :!lUttor wt~8.t the Gore,c.:: policy con siders necessary now or after the war or how negative the opinion may be about a people or about tho nations in the East, it is irresponsible for'tho Ger man interests to express such thoughts since the danger is present that they can como easily to the public.
First of all the saying that tho Ukrainians arc a colonial people and that as such should be treated with the whip like negroes has dribbled down to tho lowest administrative offices and it has beco~o knOVffi in tho broadest Ukrainian circles, as I fUill1d out my self.'1

8. Evacuation and R~settlenlent in tho Eastern Territories.
In all the E~stcrn Territories, substantial numbers
\ of people were e~acuated and resettled, in connection with the program to eliminate undesirable clements of the popu- lation and to Ge~aniso the conquered territories. In re~ porting upon those resettlements, it was stated in tho
National Socialist Yoar ~ook for 19~1:
"Numerous SS ld:',ders and SS nen helped with untiring effort in bringing about this systematic migration of peoples, which has no parallel in history."

It is well known that the defendants clamored for ad ditional tGrrito~J long before the war began. &~t th~t tiQe the defendants claimed that such territories were needed for the GorDal. populo.tion. Honce it is clear that such terri tories when acquired were intonded to become Ge~&n. Tho evidence clearly proves that one of the principal object
ives of tho defendants in planning and waging the war was to gain additional territory by conquest, and to GorEffi1ise
these conquered tcrrit~ries. GeTIJG.nisation was to be ac
conplished by evacuation, assimilation or destruction of the
inhabitants, and resettlement by people o·f Gorman blood,
resulting in the complete disintegration of national states
and cultures. This policy was actively pursued by the de
fendants beth in the East and ibst. In this wuy the de
fendants planned to croate a Gormanic Reich, continental
in Hs proportions, elJ~br8.cing all of Europe • ",lith such a
pOTIerful instrument at their disposal, the defendants thon
planned to bo in a position to defy or conquer the rest of
the world. The defendants wore utterly ruth16ss in tho
formulation of their plan anu HB oxocu';;i.cn. Thoy cared
nothing for the st£'.tes I racos t",ld individuc.ls which rJ.ust bo
crushed in order to achio~o their objoctives. Tho defend
ants.' plan to G0:r:naniso the 0cC':.~pled Territories, which
they spared no effort in oxecuting, was indispensable to
the achievement of the purposes of their conspiracy to
dominate ~urope and the werld, and constituted a gross vio
lation of the laws and customs of Vier as expressed in ...~rticle
6 (b) of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal,
