Im Arbeitsbuch für Ausländer von 1940 im Punkt "Staatsangehörigkeit" wurde eingetragen: "Schutzangehöriger". Ich habe das als "Person, who is under the care of the Third Reich" übersetzt. Haben Sie andere Ideen?

Non-German living in one of the German Protected Areas
See: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Volksliste.
According to this article "Schutzangehöriger" would be a Euphemism and those people, foreigners living in German Protected Areas (Deutsche Schutzgebiete) would not be protected at all. On the contrary they would be made to suffer (a lot).

Maybe you should leave it in German as "Schutzangehöriger" with an English explanation, after all we're talking about Nazi-German here and if you translate it directly it easily gives the opposite impression from what it really meant.

Example sentence:
Arbeitsbuch issued in 1942 in Lubliniec to a 41 year old, designated in the book as a Schutzangehöriger (Pole) (a Polish resident of the Reich, but not counted as a citizen).
