it wasn't just ethnic germans; lots of european minorities like ukrainians were "transferred" at the end of the war, despite in some cases centuries of residence. It was kind of the apotheosis of all that european nationalism had been striving to create for the last century.

no one talks about it because even though its not wrong to talk about it those who are the most personally motivated to talk about it are often those who wish to downplay the holocaust making bringing it up a pretty accurate yet deeply flawed heuristic for nazi sympathy (cont.)

you can see what I mean if you check some of the replies to the quoted tweet it fails bad in this case and its failure state is calling those who wish to recognize a genocide a nazi so it rlly should b used sparingly and w/ confirmation but the train of thought is comprehensible
