  1. Did someone say… *Anschluss*?

    Clearly the Sudetes in Czechia miss being in the Holy Roman Empire

  2. Look at how they massacred my boy and then claim it’s illegal to take territory away from others because it’s ‘ethnic cleansing’.

  3. Germans in the Balkans have always seemed strange to me. I’d really like to go back in time and meet a few of them

    Lots of german speaking minorities in Hungary and we love them and their unique culture! I had the honor to attend one of their village festivals in Hercegkút, lovely people, great food, great wine!

  5. There are still German speakers in Alsace and the region around Opole though. And you could argue that there are german language islands in Spain due to many Germans emigrating there.

    NGL, they kinda brought it on themselves. Not saying the ethnic cleansing of Eastern Europe by the Soviets was right, but it kind of makes sense.
