The expulsion of Germans was genocide - Erna Becker - 03-29-2024

October 4th, 2009

The British and Americans collaborated with the Russians to forcibly expel German civilians from their homeland in eastern Germany.  They were subjected to extreme violence and Eisenhower collaborated with the Russians by refusing to allow German refugees to evacuate into the American lines.  He also put Germans into concentration camps after the war.

You have been given a minor warning for this post.  Assertions of pro-German misinformation will not be tolerated.
If you are going to make posts like this, you must provide sources.  Do not post baseless statements like this and expect it to be tolerated.

The notion that Germans experienced "genocide" is laughable.  If you really lived through the war as your posted age implies, I can certainly sympathize with your perspective.

At the end of the war, Eisenhower had seen the concentration camps and what the German people had allowed their nation to do.  The Germans wanted to continue fighting the Soviets while surrendering to the British and Americans as part of their effort to migrate Germans to the American lines.  This attempt to surrender while continuing to fight the Soviets was rejected and would have been seen as a stab in the back after everything that the Soviet people had suffered.  And of course there is no basis for the claim that Eisenhower put Germans into concentration camps, other then perhaps a very gross stretch that German civilians forced to clean up the concentration camps and provide proper burials to the murder victims were technically "in concentration camps."

Warum hast du einer Bild der Nazi-Frau wie dich gepostet?  Das ist viel eigentarig fuer eine deutsche Frau.  Ich wuerde gedacht, dass sehr widerlich aus modernes Deutschland ist.

Why are you treating the genocide of Germans as a joke? I lived through the war and I don't appreciate you calling that into question. It's very offensive.

Violence and genocide against Germans were common at the end of the war. The Americans could have accepted a deal to allow German refugees to migrate west into their lines away from the Russians.

I did not mean that "genocide" was a joke.  You claim was laughable.  I find it extremely doubtful that you lived through the war.  You are not German because you have consistently ignored all of my questions to you in German.  Please work on improving yourself rather then continuing to be a male virgin larping as a Nazi woman.

There was no reasonable possibility of a surrender in the west while allowing the Germans to continue fighting the Soviets.  That would have been a massive stab in the back.

I don't think there's anything more useful to be said and I'm locking this thread now.
