Awards & distinctions

1993 Charles Smith Award, European Section of the Southern Historical Association

Lumans studies the relations between Nazi Germany and the German minority populations of other European countries, examining these ties within the context of Hitler's foreign policy and the racial policies of SS Chief Heinrich Himmler. He shows how the Reich's racial and political interests in these German minorities between 1933 and 1945 helped determine its behavior toward neighboring states.

Originally published in 1993.

Reviews

"This carefully researched well-written volume . . . is the only comprehensive volume on the subject available in any language . . . [and] provides additional documentation for the organizational chaos that passed for governance in the Third Reich."--German Studies Review

"An informative and readable addition to the literature on Nazi racism."--German History

"A significant contribution to our understanding of how the ethnic German communities outside the Reich were perceived, supported, and manipulated by German governments in both the Weimar and National Socialist periods."--Charles W. Sydnor, Jr., author of Soldiers of Destruction: The SS Death's Head Division

"The first extended study of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle, this book is based on a wide array of primary sources. Lumans helps to explain the politics of bureaucracy in Nazi Germany and provides essential historical background for an examination of ethnic antagonisms which continue to plague Eastern Europe."--Richard Breitman, author of German Socialism and Weimar Democracy
