Reichskommissariat Ostland

Reichskommissariat Ostland was a German colony located in Eastern Europe which consists of Belarus and the baltic states.
== History ==
Originally the reich minister for the occupied eastern territories, Alfred Rosenberg envisioned usage of the term Baltenland (Baltic land) before the summer of 1941 for the area that will eventually become known as ostland.Otto Bräutigam,a major colleague of Rosenberg at the time,opposed this idea.In a later declaration he alleged that Rosenberg (himself a Baltic German),Was influenced by his "Baltic friends" in forwarding this initiative,in which a "Baltic reichskommissariat" with the addition of belarus would be formed,"and with that the ruthenians would also be regarded as Balts" said Otto Bräutigam.
