The article focuses on relation between regionalism, ethnic nationalism and state loyalty in connection to changing political and economic situation, mainly in reaction on rise of Nazism. The topic is seen in the context of German understanding of Silesian identity and its role in German nation. Another goal of the research is to map the ties of the activists to cultural and educational institutions. The paper is based on primary archival sources and journalism of the examined period.
