[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] request: history lesson

[Ken Browne]

I hope this doesn't end up as a double posting. I accidentally sent the 
original from an email address NOT the one I am registered with on this 
list.


Perhaps I should know more about this but here's what I'd like to know.

   * In pre_WWII times (dates please?) Hitler's regime confiscated
     passports (of whom and why?).
   *  What was the arrangement for "repatriation" and to whom did it
     apply and when did occur?


Based on to letters that I have I can deduce some partial answers, but I 
would like to be more certain about timelines. More accurate knowledge 
of the history of these years may help me unravel a mystery in my family 
tree.

Thanks,
