Zakaj so na tistem zemljevidu (Nemčija, 1940.) dva naroda, “Wendisch” in “Slowenien”? Priprava za delitev z Italijanim? Meja med Kranjcima in Štajercima ni ista kot na zemljevidu, ne?
Meja na zemljevidu je na Savi, tj. enaka kot med Štajersko in Kranjsko. “Vindišarji” so pa verjetno tisti Slovenci, ki so “bolj primerni” za ponemčenje. In dejansko je bilo na Štajerskem več nemškutarjev (tj. Slovencev, ki bi raje bili Nemci), ampak niti približno ne toliko, da bi celo Štajersko pobarval z drugo barvo.
Zgodovinsko in upravna razdelitev.
Veliki kosi slovenskega ozemlja so bili v lasti/upravljanju plemske rodbine Windischgrätz in je bolj geografsko pripadnost prebivalcev kot pa jezik. Razen narečnih razlik je to en in isti jezik, je pa bilo še za časa Avstro-Ogerske in tudi prejšnje avstrijske republike (pred pripojitvijo 3. Reichu) tudi uradna oznaka za slovenski jezik tistega dela.
Rodbina izhaja iz kraja Slovenj Gradec (nem: Windischgrätz) .
Še danes je v Avstriji (predvsem pri starejših generacijah) oznaka “Windischer” ekvivalent za prebivalce Koroške in dela Štajerske.
The idea of people living in what is today Slovenia being “Slovenes” as a nationality, was, at the point this map was created, only about 100 years old. Before that, most people identified themselves based on the land they were from (Kranjska, Štajerska, Koroška etc.)
This is something Austrian nationalists used to their advantage for instance, when they ran propaganda before the 1920 [Carinthian plebiscite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Carinthian_plebiscite), in which a lot of Slovenes in what is today Austrian Koroška, voted to remain in Austria.
Germans used that fact via [Martin Wutte](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windischentheorie)’s Windisch theory, which said that Slovenes in Koroška are not the same as let’s say, Slovenes in Kranjska, the one land that was majority Slovene in former Austrian empire. Koroški Slovenci were apparently more land than nation-oriented, they shared same culture with Germans in the area and so they’re not Slovenes, they’re “Windisch”. That is now a common term Germans use for Slavs.
Wutte was also a Nazi, btw and Nazis extended the Windisch theory onto Slovenes in Štajerska as well, because just like Koroška, they saw Štajerska (the area that’s red on the map) as integral part of Greater Germany, Hitler even said so when he visited Maribor. So those Slovenes who live in the parts that were considered German, were classifieds as Wends or Windisch – Slavic origin but German patriotism or Germanic culture, and those who lived in Kranjska, which was always majority-Slovene land, are classified as Slovenes.
