I have to admit, that title already looks suspicious to me: Germans were not indigenous to Yugoslavia.

I think the term "indigenous" is used in the article to differentiate the Danube Swabians from the German citizens from Germany (Reichsdeutschen). The Danube Swabians were not aboriginals, but neither were the Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, or other inhabitants living there in the 1940s. Given that their ancestors had lived there for 200 to 250 years, the Danube Swabians were established citizens, regardless of the successor country that received them in 1919. The parts referring to Romania contains misstatements of fact and misspellings of names. The prediction of the future also turned out to be too pessimistic. The whole article would greatly benefit from an update.

There has been a good deal of research done. When I search the University of Waterloo’s library catalogue, I come up with hundreds of citations, including articles, books, theses, and dissertations. Much of it is in German, though, and since it’s only accessible through a university, you would need to either revive your alumnus status at your alma mater (to get likely limited access to their online library) or go to a university directly to do the research. Here are the first three. Please forgive any odd characters; I just cut and paste, but these give you a small idea of the kinds of subjects that have been researched. These may or may not be peer-reviewed, but that may or may not be important to you. (That means research that has been vetted by other researchers.)

I have a similarly titled book, "Genocide of the Ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia 1944-1948" by the Documentation Project Committee (Donauschwäbische Kulturstiftung) and published in Munich in 2003 in English. It appears to be a very good and detailed book. - Brad Schwebler Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 16, 2017, at 3:57 PM, Lori Straus via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> wrote: > > camps
