Ethnic membership, not citizenship, defined belonging in Pan-German ideology.

Evidence

Pan-Germans already talked before the first World War of the distinction between “Staatsfremde,” people of Germanic origin who happened to live under the authority of another country, and “Volksfremde,” people of non-Germanic origin who happened to live in Germany. … When Austria was incorporated into the Third Reich, Hitler addressed the German people of Austria with typically Pan-German slogans. “Wherever we may have been born,” he told them, we are all “the sons of the German people.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2396

Categorization

• DEFINE: The Staatsfremde/Volksfremde distinction is a key threshold concept: it relocates political membership from state to ethnic peoplehood, a mechanism directly transferable to the reader’s Islamophobia toolkit.
• XREF: Directly feeds the reader’s ‘race-thinking and statelessness’ and ‘imagined community of the nation’ building blocks.
