Displace Germans living on the streets of Berlin. At the end of the Second World War, 12 to 14 million ethnic Germans were expelled from their homes as the borders of Europe were once again redrawn. It was the largest single movement of any single ethnic population in the history of the modern world. Many, if not most, returned to Germany and were seen as unwelcome pests. As a result of the hardships, millions died of starvation. Those who survived did so only on starvation rations. Cold War, History, Dresden, Germany Ww2, Europe, François Hollande, Wwii, German
