After the end of the Second World War, the vast majority of Germans from the eastern regions of the former Reich - such as East Prussia, Pomerania or Silesia - were expelled to the west. But ethnic Germans from the Sudetenland were also expelled. The Sudetenland was largely part of the former Czechoslovakia until it was annexed by the National Socialists in 1938. The subject of expulsion is a difficult one. Expulsion is a consequence of the Nazi tyranny and the Holocaust. Of course, the anger of the oppressed affects the perpetrators in the regions affected by the expulsions. But it also affects many innocent people, children and opponents of the Hitler regime who had to suffer during and under the Nazi dictatorship. What is right and what is wrong? These are questions that are still difficult to answer today, or at least not comprehensively. In this video, Mirko looks at the problem of the Sudeten Germans and their expulsion from different perspectives and explains how German-Czech relations have developed to this day.
