Summary
This chapter covers Richard Darré and Nazi inner colonization, and race breeding through peasant farming. Sering turned against Darré and the race-based Nazi agrarian policy, and so Darré had Sering removed. Konrad Meyer took over the role of godfather of inner colonization. Ihe chapter then discussed race science and the rise of eugenics. Sering became an Ostforscher, an eastern researcher. Mitteleuropa ideas for southeastern Europe are touched upon. During his carrer, Sering was great supporter of female academics, and in his later years helps Von Dietze get out of prison. Schacht was a major supporter of Sering. Sering’s final act was the writing of a paper on the new war economy. The chapter concludes with Sering’s death.
