Blut und Boden. Wokół unitarno-autorytarnej koncepcji integracji Europy

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.
