  Drang nach Osten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A definitive halt to the idea of the Drang nach Osten came during World War II, after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.
Nazi officials used it as grounds for the expulsion of 800,000 Poles from Warsaw to concentration camps after the defeat of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, which caused 200,000 deaths.
Himmler stated that the Poles had been an obstacle to German Eastern expansion for the last 700 years, and that the aim was to remove that obstacle permanently.

The quantity of components in the original Drang Nach Osten and Unentschieden games required a thick box and one was special ordered through a local cardboard maker.
When Unentscheiden was published in September 1973, a few loose ends between DNO and UNT needed to be resolved; this was accomplished by inserting a few strategically selected pages into the DNO rules set; these pages were dated 9/73.

The plan envisaged differing percentages of the various conquered nations undergoing Germanisation, expulsion into the depths of Russia, and other gruesome fates, the net effect of which would be to ensure that the conquered territories would take on an irrevocably German character.

Drang nach Osten ("Rush to the East") - A game to cover Operation Barbarossa and the Soviet counterattacks over the winter of 1941-1942.
The titles appealed to the historical Drang nach Osten concept and the mythological Götterdämmerung concept as symbols for an epic struggle between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Due to an expanding range of interests that the developers wanted to pursue with their successful new company, Die Götterdämmerung was postponed indefinitely and will now probably never be published as originally conceived, due to a greatly revised plan for the series.

 Lubusz Voivodship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Part of the historic province was located on the western bank of the Oder River, where the main settlement, now the German town of Lebus, was located.
In around 1250, it was acquired by the Ascanian margraves of Brandenburg, and was thus the first Polish province to fall to German expansionism (See Drang nach Osten).
In 1945, following the redrawing of Poland's borders after the Second World War, the region was transferred to Poland.

 "Partnership for Peace: A New 'Drang Nach Osten'" (Apr. 16, 1995)
It’s just that the modern version of the "Drang Nach Osten" power play isn’t a frontal assault - a mistake most of Russia’s adversaries had made in the past.
You see, the "brilliant" CFR heads and diplomatic geniuses who constructed the new (i.e., old) "Drang Nach Osten" wolf, and then clumsily tried to disguise it in the "Partnership for Peace" (sheep) clothing, neglected to heed the advice by that "mother of all schemers," Niccolo Machiavelli:
I only bring up this Vietnam-era incident to help us appreciate that it is the people of the same level of (in)competence (i.e., the CFR members such as Bill Clinton, Tony Lake, Warren Christopher and others), that are making similar "life and death" decisions about our kids’ lives today.

 Introduction
From the beginning of the tenth to the end of the twelfth century, the Drang nach Osten (Drive to the East) dominated the history of northeast Germany.
The literature goes far back into the eighteenth century, and there are several surveys among these older works, but in the twentieth century there is only Karl Hampe's Der Zug nach dem Osten, which was published prior to World War One.
