Reichsdeutsche
Reichsdeutsche (German: [ˈʁaɪ̯çsˌdɔɪ̯t͡ʃə] , literally translated 'Germans of the Reich') is an archaic term for those ethnic Germans who resided within the German state that was founded in 1871. In contemporary usage, it referred to German citizens, the word signifying people from the German Reich, i.e., Imperial Germany or Deutsches Reich, which was the official name of Germany between 1871 and 1949.
