=== Post War ===
In the civil administration of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories numerous technical staff worked under [[Georg Leibbrandt]], former chief of the east section of the foreign political office in the Nazi Party, now chief of the political section in the Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories. Leibbrandt's deputy, [[Hans-Otto Bräutigam|Otto Bräutigam]], had previously worked as a consul with experience in the Soviet Union. Economic affairs remained under the direct management of [[Hermann Göring]] (the Plenipotentiary of Germany's Four Year Plan).
From 1942 Fritz Sauckel had the role of "General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment" (Generalbevollmächtigter für den Arbeitseinsatz), charged with recruiting manpower for Germany throughout Europe, though in Ukraine [[Erich Koch|Koch]] insisted that Sauckel confine himself to setting requirements, leaving the actual "recruitment" of Ost-Arbeiter to Koch and his brutes.
The regime encouraged the settlement of German and other "Germanic" farmers in the region after the war, along with the empowerment of some ethnic Germans in the territory. Ukraine was the furthest eastern settlement of the migrating ancient Goths between the 2nd and 4th centuries and subsequently, according to Hitler, ''"Only German should be spoken here"''.
