Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories

The Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories was a German government agency established during World War II to oversee and administer Nazi-occupied Eastern European regions. Its responsibilities included implementing Nazi policies, managing local administration, and exploiting resources, often involving oppressive and brutal treatment of populations. The ministry aimed to integrate these territories into Germany's war effort and ideology, while suppressing resistance. It was part of the broader Nazi strategy to control and exploit Eastern Europe during the war.
