 Relict Forms of Balts' National Costume - Alicje Bednarczuk
The Pomerania was, as before, under the influence of Unietyce culture through which greater and greater abundance of bronze finery came there from the basin of the Mediterranean Sea.
It seems, however, that their destination was different in those times: they were probably adopted as the finery of women's vestments, for an analogical phenomenon of the adaptation of attractive usable objects from the area of the Roman Empire in a miniatured form as finery is known on the Barbaricum.
Pendants in the shape of little buckets from the central Pomerania, imitating the imported bronze pails, the so-called sittulae, may be an example here.(15) On the other hand the archeological findings of central Lithuania confirm the presence of janizary bells in women's tombs from 5th to 8th c.

 Kohler on Baranowski, "East Elbian Landed Elites"
Her focus is on Pomerania, a Prussian East Elbian backwater that in the rhetorical style of another controversialist, Ernst Nolte, can be described as the "ursprünglichste Urquelle" (most original, original source) of the downright uncivil in-your-face fear and loathing of democracy that would color nationalist conservative political attitudes towards the Weimar Republic.
What distinguished pre-1914 Pomerania was the entrenchment of its estate-owning nobility both on the land and within the institutions of local governance, the virtual absence of a middle class, a subservient class of agricultural laborers, and a provincial attitude that there was nothing especially wrong with this state of affairs.
To this Pomerania would add a lack of diversity that made for a closed society whose prejudices and resentments made for a score-settling spitefulness that required little if any Nazi effort to exploit.
