    Between 1945 and 1950, somewhere around 12 million ethnic Germans were forcibly expelled from within the new boundaries of Poland and Czechoslovakia.

    Between 0.5 and 2.5 million people are claimed to have died during this expulsion.

      Oof gotta say the population displacements the ussr performed are one of the few things I find no excuse for. Like line up all the nazis and shoot them, but displacing ethic groups is immoral no matter how you slice it.
