Description
The research aims to reveal formation of the historiography of Nazi Germany policy regarding German settlers from the occupied regions of Ukraine at the Second World War final stage. The research methodology is based on the principles of objectivity and complexity, as well as on a set of special (historical & genetic, problem & chronological, periodization) and generally scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction, typologization). Scientific novelty. This article is the first attempt to study historiographic aspects of current subject that has not yet received integrated and comprehensive coverage. Conclusions. The historiography analysis of the subject suggests the absence of special studies on ethnic Germans administrative resettlements from the USSR's occupied regions during the Second World War. German scientists made the greatest contribution to development of the subject particular segments. Their works are usually based on a wide range of archival sources and modern methodological approaches. However, German historians’ interest in the subject is often selective and contextual. It is usually associated with studying the mechanisms of the Third Reich's policy aimed to Germanize the Western Polish territories annexed in 1939. In several former Soviet republics' academic circles, this issue remains a little-known page of the Second World War. Particularly, Ukrainian historians' works reduce ethnic Germans evacuation to the Reich in 1943-1944 only to a superficial examination or a brief statement. Domestic researchers' study is significantly complicated, since most of the source base on the issue is concentrated in Germany archival funds.
