Description
The Expulsion of the Germans After the Second World War by R. M. Douglas is a comprehensive account of one of the largest recorded episodes of ethnic cleansing in history. Between 1945 and 1952, over 12 million German-speaking civilians were forcibly relocated from their homes across central and southern Europe to Germany. This book tells the full story of this immense man-made catastrophe, based on archival records and the experiences of international humanitarian organizations that tried to prevent its disastrous results. The author examines how the expulsions were conceived, planned, and executed, and how their legacy continues to reverberate throughout central Europe today. Orderly and Humane is an authoritative and objective study of this important episode in European history, shedding light on a topic that few have wished to confront.
