Talk:Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–1950)
I'd like to see a source for the following (deleted) sentence:
- The true aim was the plan by the Soviet Union and its satellite states to overtake as many countries as they could get away with.
I'm always interested in uncovering the true motivations of sneaky underhanded people who are trying to exploit others. Helga, if it was you who wrote the above, please supply the source so I can put it back in. Ed Poor
To Ed Poor. I just came across this. Here are some interesting websites: Truman library;[[1]] and [[2]] There were also meetings and conferences of the Communist leaders of all European countries in the early 1930's at Moscow. I do not have a direct link to it, but when I come across it, I will let you know.
Need to state again, that under Truman a number of previous administration highest ranking US officials and policy makers were exposed as Communists and were quietly retired by Truman. Interestingly, my wikipedia start on this subject also quietly disappeared.
I just found out too, that all the so-called 'evidence' presented at the Nuremberg trials was furnished by Soviets, who made up much of the evidence.
No wonder so many people wish to keep it all under the rug. H. Jonat
I think this sentence is controversial and needs clarification :
- Some allege that the purpose of this policy was to punish Germany for its actions during World War II and to create ethnically homogenous nations.
- Who is "Some" ? We should name them.
- Is there any support for this passage in any historical documents if not it should go away.
- Besides, it IS natural consequence of the war started by Hitler. In this passage however there's implication that Hitler was great because he wanted prosperous Third Reich for Germans and the Allies were bad because they did not leave Germans alone after their defeat
- HJ -- I think you should be glad you live in the US. If you lived in Germany today, much of what you say might be construed as denying the Holocaust, which is illegal under German law. Ironic, isn't it?
The evidence came from German records. Many of those records had been in Soviet hands because the Soviet army liberated those cities and concentration camps. Furthermore, you have just called my grandmother and grandfather liars: I know about the Holocaust from their reporting of their own experience. Apologize. Now.
