Deutschtum (German pronunciation: [ˈdɔʏtʃtuːm]) is a German term equating to "Germanness".[1] It may either refer to the German character and spirit, the belonging and yearning to the German people or the entirety of German ethnic groups residing in foreign countries.[2] An anti-Western concept of a romanticized Deutschtum has been an important component of German nationalism, when the conceptions of Volk (people) and Gemeinschaft (community) were driven to their extremes during the Third Reich.[3]
