0.20 RM Dark Blue DVG Dues Stamp, 1940. NSDAP organization in occupied Lorraine, France. (The following is a Wikipedia posting in German with a Google translaton). The D.V.G. was created in August 1940 as a replacement and deputy organization for the NSDAP in occupied Lorraine by decree of Bürckel, who himself took over the leadership of the country. According to the organizational plan of the D.V.G. from February 1, 1941, the district leaders were all seconded from the neighboring NSDAP district of Saar-Palatinate; of the 17 full-time officials in the regional leadership, 12 were German and only 5 were local Lorraine residents. Admission slips were immediately distributed to all households in the department by the occupation authorities.
During the ethnic cleansing of French-speaking Lorraine, which the German occupiers carried out in August/September 1940[9] and November 1940, DVG officials helped select the groups of people to be expelled. In October 1940, the German secret service reported on the wave of entry into the D.V.G.: "Experts are of the opinion that part of the population would like to avoid a possible future evacuation in this way.In 1942, members and their families were expressly exempted from expulsion and resettlement measures.
