Summary/Abstract: The German Ethnic Group in Romania is known to have carried on an intense activity between 1940 and 1944, based on a well-oiled machinery and a large membership (over 500,000). The organization’s totalitarian character is highlighted by the ideological components GEG strove to put into practice: the demographic policy, the so-called celibacy tax, the patriotic guards, the “voluntary” contributions, control over the press and control over the individual by including them into some sort of organization.
