[235] The plan for Mittelafrika was part of Nazi colonial development policy and colonial politics; it was first mentioned by Hitler on March 7, 1936, in a speech before the Reichstag. He related it to an overall peace-plan initiated by reoccupation of German troops for the [Rhineland] demilitarized zone, annulation of the Versailles Treaty by the League of Nations and a League’s concession to Germany to hold colonies like other European powers. “Mittelafrika envisioned a belt of territories encompassing the Congo basin that would be either directly or indirectly under German control,” W. D. Smith … p. 68. It was primarily the economic potential of these African territories which attracted Hitler and the German industry to this plan for Mittelafrika. A number of historians have studied the Mittelafrika project. Prominent among them are Alexandre Kum’a Dumbe and Woodruff D. Smith. Appendix 12 [not in present work] correspondence from colonial clubs and colonial student clubs uphold racial purity and ideology.
