On July 4, 1943, Polish President-in-exile Władysław Sikorski was killed in a plane crash in Gibraltar. Immediately after the unnatural death of the respected politician, questions began to arise about the exact circumstances of the event and the cause of death. Government institutes and renowned scientists have extensivly investigated this question, as have amateur researchers. One thing is certain: the first official investigation of the incident, ordered by Winston Churchill, is full of inconsistencies and omissions. So it didn’t end speculations but rather fueled them. The multitude of possible motives did the rest. At the time of the crash, Sikorski had many enemies, the most powerful and ruthless of whom was Joseph Stalin.

The displacement of more than 14 million Germans from Central and Eastern Europe during the years 1944-48 has consequences until today. And yet, it has been almost taboo for more than 65 years. These 50 Theses fill this gap by laying down the facts and explaining the main historical and international law implications.

Many do not even know that they ever existed: Almost 3.5 million German speakers lived until 1918 on the territory of today’s Czech Republic, in the border region of Bohemia and Moravia, but many also in the interior, for example in Prague, whose inner city had been German-speaking since the high Middle Ages.

The expulsion of the Germans after the Second World War had a dramatic, hardly known consequence: far more than 3200 localities have completely disappeared from the map. To this day, no one knows the exact number, as no scientist has yet compiled a complete list of these deserts. Economic and social upheavals and a profound transformation of cultural landscapes are the consequences of the mass demise of formerly German villages.

80 Theses on Expulsion – Coming to Terms with the Past instead of Repressing It
Paperback, 216 pages, with 15 illustrations, including three maps, in German

One in four Germans has family roots in the vanished, “old” East Germany, i.e. in Silesia, Pomerania, East and West Prussia or the Sudetenland. The forcible uprooting of some 14 million people from these regions after the Second World War is a watershed in German history and has changed the map of Europe. And yet there has been silence about this event. For a long time, the media and school textbooks have reported little about it, and ignorance is the result. Only a small percentage of young people in Germany can even find Silesia, once a thriving German region twice the size of Hesse, on the map.
