- Abstract
The article discusses the role of Dutch settlers in the so-called Germanization policy of colonizing Eastern European areas occupied by Germany during World War II. It is said that these settlers were involved in anti-Jewish and anti-Slavic genocide. Topics include the thought of Dutch Nazi Meinoud Rost van Tonningen, the work of the settlement organization Nederlandse Oost Compagnie (Dutch East Company, NOC), and racial ideology among the settlers. Also noted are efforts at peat digging in Lithuania, relations between Germans and Dutch settlers, and Dutch attitudes toward Jewish forced laborers.
