Ethnic Germans forcibly deported to Germany - Benes Decrees

Czechoslovakia, Sudetenland 1947. Ethnic Germans who lived in Bohemia and Moravia for centuries were forcibly deported to Germany after 1945 under so called Benes Decrees. The land, farms and other property belonging to Germans were confiscated by the Czechoslovak government. The treatment and temporary accomodation of German citizens could be compared to Nazi concentration camps during WWII and their relocation was quite similar to Jewish transports to death camps.
