In
Beschka,
the wine cultivation was very
important. Friedrich Scherer (vgl.
Reg. No. 1630) reported that
after the grapevines were
destroyed in 1890 by the
grapevine louse, the farmers, on the advise of Rev. Gretzmacher, took the wild American grapevines (Manticula
and Portalis) and grafted them onto the noble European grapevines. These grapevine stocks proved themselves to be resistant to the grapevine louse and the wine cultivation blossomed
in Beschka again. According to
papers by Peter Ewinger (vgl. Reg. No.
458) about 13,000 hectoliters of wine was produced which
according to today’s standards is worth about 2.6 million Deutsch Marks.
Besides that about 1000 hectoliters of Treberschnaps (schnaps made from the skins of grapes)
could be distilled annually. [© From the book "History

Introduction to
the Armed Formations of the German National Group (Volksgruppe) in the
Independent State of Croatia (Einsatzstaffel der Deutsche
Mannschaft (ES d. DM)) by H.L. deZeng IV
Part-time civilian local defense units, initially
called Ortsschutz and then from 1943 Deutsche Heimatwacht (German Home
Guard), were established in many of the individual Volksdeutsch communities
in Slavonia and Syrmia as the danger of partisan attack intensified from the
end of 1941. Rather than being considered formal units, these local defense
formations were designated by the name of their town or village.
The German ethnic group in Croatia and Bosnia had a
1941 population of 150,000 to 200,000, depending on the source consulted.
The first steps to establish armed formations within the group were taken on
21 June 1941 with the creation of the Deutsche Mannschaft (DM) from
qualified men between 18 and 45 years of age, as a para-military party
organization set up for self-defense purposes and somewhat similar to the
Allgemeine-SS in Germany. http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=7276

people of Josef the Second, chosen Roman Emperor by his

Empire, king of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, and Lodomeria, do
(thun) herewith (Jedermänniglich kund) that we in our
kingdom of Hungary, Galicia, and Lodomeria possessed many
unoccupied, empty, and desolate lands which we thought to
settle with German members of the Empire, especially from
the upper Rhine region. In the end we promise, by our
drilled-in imperial royal slogan to all of our migrating
families of the Empire, which we are in need of many
thousand of farm families and professionals: [Read
