Geography / 3rd Reich Ostland Atlas
German term or phrase: i.v.H.
Here are some examples of where it is used. There seems to be no context of what it might refer to, but is used regularly throughout the atlas.

-- Weizenanbaufläche i.v.H. vom Ackerlande, Gesamt- und Durchschnittsertrag
-- Roggenanbaufläche i.v. vom Ackerlande, Gesamt- und Durchschnittsertrag
-- Gerstenanbaufläche i.v.H. vom Ackerlande, Gesamt- und Durchschnittsertrag
-- Einwohner von 0-14 J. i.v.H. der Bevolkerung (Entwicklung der Geburtenziffer)

Any help would be appreciated. This is a favor for a friend working with the atlas in an archive.
