#PRC: Destroying dissenters with Umvolkung.   Gregory R Copley, @Gregory_Copley, editor and publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs. LA 

Umvolkung is a term in Nazi ideology used to describe a process of assimilation of members of the German people as a way for them to forget about their language and their origin. As a neologism, it echoes Umpolung, 'polarity inversion', leading to an interpretation akin to ‘ethnicity inversion’.
      During WWII, Germany had plans to conquer almost all of Eastern Europe and process the Umvolkung so that all of the formerly German people who had slowly assimilated and mixed with other ethnicities would again become more German.
