 | | Germans came to the area as traders and Christian missionaries. | | | After the occupation of the Baltic states by German troops, there was some hope that a re-emigration could take place, but permission was denied by the German authorities in 1941. | | | Later, the Baltic Germans faced fierce attacks from the Russian nationalist press, which accused the Baltic aristocracy of separatism, and advocated closer linguistic and administrative integration with Russia. |

| | THE "REPATRIATION" OF THE BALTIC GERMANS AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE PACTS: A NEW NAZI POPULATION POLICY OR THE ... |
| | In order to accommodate the Baltic Germans and compensate them for the material possessions left behind in Estonia and Latvia, Poles and Jews were displaced, their property and possessions confiscated and they themselves were taken to occupied regions of Poland — the General Government (from June 1940 onwards). | | | The basic idea of this racial policy was the unification of all Germans in one territory and the superiority of the German race existed from the very beginning of the National Socialist movement, but political pragmatism had dictated another course of action, that of strengthening Germandom abroad. | | | Before giving an answer to the Baltic German question, some comments need to be made on National Socialist plans and policy with respect to the Volksdeutsche (before the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact August 23, 1939). |

| | Out of 2,500 German Baltic immigrants, from 400 to 500 of them stemmed from aristocratic families, which is partly explainable through the fact that many of them had been landowners who no longer had a future in Germany. | | | The emigration of German Balts to Canada proved very difficult in the years between 1946 and 1949, because ethnic Germans including German Balts were viewed as “Hitler Germans”, partly out of ignorance but also out of a widespread and also understandable deeply felt animosity towards Germany in the post-war years. | | | These circulars and unusual reports were also published from 1958 to 1964, but neither the Baltic German compatriots association in Darmstadt nor the Carl-Schirren society in Lüneburg has at their disposal a collection of these circulars and yearly reports. |

| | British Submarines and the Baltic Sea |
| | Training at sea for the German Baltic Fleet was affected as their commanders could not risk a capital ship being sunk – yet the effectiveness of the crews relied upon them being able to train and this could only be done at sea. | | | The route from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea was exceptionally dangerous. | | | The blockade of German ports had a huge impact on Germany itself. |

| | Baltic German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In Latvia, Baltic Germans were the most politically active and organized ethnic group, although they lost some influence after Karlis Ulmanis' coup in 1934. | | | Occasionally, ethnic Germans from East Prussia are considered Baltic German for reasons of cultural, linguistic, and historical affinities. | | | This Ritterschaft was based on the former knights but also included immigrants from the German principalities to the west. |

| | Its largely German population was descended from the German colonists whom Catherine II had invited to settle there in 1762. | | | As a result of the German invasion of the USSR, the republic was dissolved (1941), and the entire German population (about 440,000) was deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan. | | | The Volga Germans were then stripped of their citizenship and did not regain their civil rights until after Stalin's death. |

| | The antagonism was caused by the widespread belief among Estonians that fraternities belonged to German culture. | | | Estonian national fraternities were established to serve the purpose of the Estonian nationalism but, paradoxically, they were based on German traditions. | | | National fraternities also came into opposition with the most of the élite of the Estonian society. |

| | Baltic German |
| | Under the Soviet Union, many of the Baltic Germans were killed off, exiled to Siberia, or otherwise expelled from their homeland. | | | In 1561 the Baltic Germans (Baltendeutsche), also called German Balts (Deutschbalten), had written guarantees for German language and legal system and Protestant religion. | | | German traders and missionaries first began to settle in the Baltic region, already occupied by Estonians, Lithuanians, and Latvians, in the 12th century. |

| | The author claims that her case study of the Baltic German nobility's response to modernity is the first social history of the Baltic German nobility. | | | The Revolution of 1905 and 1906 shattered the complacency of the Baltic German nobility, but did not change its unwillingness to cede any, or some, of their privileges to the Estonians and Latvians. | | | Sometimes it is forgotten that many Swedish, Russian, English, Scottish and even French foreign nobles and ennobled burghers had become members of the Baltic German nobility. |
