Germans began fleeing from Pomerania, Silesia, and East Prussia in the spring of 1945 to escape the brutality of the approaching Soviet Army. Millions remained behind and would become part of the forced expulsion of Germans. After World War II and unknown to the majority of the world outside of Germany, politicians, using military force drove roughly 16.6 million Germans from their homes in central and Eastern Europe, per an agreement signed by Stalin, Truman, and Churchill. Out of that 16.6 million, about 2.1 million died during the expulsion, some twelve million arrived in a diminished Germany while 2.5 million avoided expulsion but perished during the process of trying to survive. 2054 In 1947, Polish authorities admitted that there were only 400,000 Germans still remaining in an area that was once home to about eight million Germans. We know very little about the fate of those Germans who, for whatever reason, remained behind. 2055
Victor Gollancz wrote, “It is true that the decisions of Yalta and Potsdam, the alienation of territory, the expulsion of populations, the division into zones, above all the criminal policy of deindustrialization, had already made the creation of a genuine democracy anywhere in Germany infinitely difficult. In so far as our statesmen sponsored or willingly acquiesced in these policies they bear a responsibility for which history will find it hard to forgive them.” 2056
