"The capture and transfer of civilian ethnic Germans to the Soviet Union began as soon as countries with a German minority began to be overrun in 1944. Large numbers of civilians were taken from countries such as Romania, Yugoslavia, and from the eastern parts of Germany itself. For example, after Christmas 1944 between 27,000 and 30,000 ethnic Germans (aged 18–40) were sent to the USSR from Yugoslavia. Women made up 90% of the group. Most were sent to labor camps in the Donbass (Donets or Donez basin) where 16% of them died."
Och det här är alltså EFTER andra världskrigets slut.Citat:"In its shifted borders, post-war Poland comprised large territories that had a German-speaking majority and had been part of German states for centuries. Many ethnic Germans living in these areas were, prior to their expulsion from their home region, used for years as forced laborers in labor camps such as that run by Salomon Morel.
Among these camps were Central Labor Camp Jaworzno, Central Labor Camp Potulice, Łambinowice, Zgoda labor camp and others. The law authorizing forced labor, Article 20 of the law on the exclusion of the enemy elements from society, also removed rights to Polish citizenship and all property owned.
The many camps were used during the process of the expulsions for the sake of "rehabilitating" Reichs- or Volksdeutsche, to decide if they could stay or go, but in reality this was a program of slave labor. Roughly 200,000 ethnic Germans died in the Soviet run concentration camps in Poland.
Others were still amongst the rest of the population, but the Polish government had made several declarations that the German population should be exploited as forced labor, instructing a minimum of 60 hours work per week with no rights for breaks. The salaries were insufficient for survival, usually 25 or 50 percent of Polish salaries"
Notera här att det alltså handlar om 1948. Notera också att ryska vakter kunde våldta tyska kvinnor lite hur de ville. 1948. Tre år efter andra världskrigets slut. Eftersom Tyskland inte existerade och tyskarna inte hade något att säga till om då de inte hade någon egen regering eller inflytande och bara skulle hålla käft och lida för vad de gjort under andra världskriget. Ryssarna själva satte inte stopp för sina soldaters beteende så länge som det inte gick för långt eller västvärlden riskerade att få reda på det.Citat:"The work was dangerous and stressful and the Soviets made no effort to improve it; as a result the mines became filled with forced labor conscripts and has been compared to a death march and the Gulags of Kolyma. Quotas were repeatedly set and raised, and conscription took place without regard to health or work experience - mines became staffed with office workers, craftsmen and students with no mining experience. In an effort to increase the number of laborers, women were increasingly recruited to the non-segregated mines, many of whom brought or were infected with venereal diseases, and were sexually exploited by the Russian guards. By 1948 workers were pulled away from factories and criminals from jails to staff the mines, as were POWs returning to Germany from the Soviet Union."
2'000 varje månad som dödades eller lemlästades. Enbart vad gällde att rensa minor.Citat:"According to Simon MacKenzie, "callous self-interest and a desire for retribution played a role in the fate" of German prisoners, and he exemplifies by pointing out that sick or otherwise unfit prisoners were forcibly used for labor, and in France and the Low Countries this also included work such as highly dangerous mine-clearing; "by September 1945 it was estimated by the French authorities that two thousand prisoners were being maimed and killed each month in accidents.""
I Storbritannien:Citat:"Some of the 740,000 German prisoners transferred in 1945 by the U.S. for forced labor in France came from the Rheinwiesenlager camps; these forced laborers were already very weak, many weighing barely 50 kg (110 lbs)."
Citat:In 1946, the UK had more than 400,000 German prisoners of war, many of whom had been transferred from POW camps in the U.S. and Canada. Many of these were used as forced labourers, as a form of war reparations.
Citat:In 1946 a fifth of all agricultural work in the UK was performed by German prisoners.
En femtedel 1946. En fjärdedel 1947.Citat:In 1947 the Ministry of Agriculture argued against rapid repatriation of working German prisoners, since by then they made up 25 percent of the land workforce, and they wanted to keep employing them into 1948
Hur stor koll har du på vad som hände efter andra världskrigets slut? För alltför många verkar tro att eftersom kriget slutade 1945 så upphörde allt lidande som kriget hade fört med sig. Men lidandet fortsatte i flera år men eftersom det nu var tyskarna som led så var det ingen som brydde sig.Citat:Most German POWs of the Americans and the British were released by the end of 1948, and most of those in French captivity were released by the end of 1949.
Här hittar vi också lite om Polen och polska krav på krigsskadestånd. Samt vart frågan ska ställas....Citat:By February 28, 1947, it was estimated that 4,160,000 German former prisoners of war, by General Dwight D. Eisenhower relabeled as Disarmed Enemy Forces in order to negate the Geneva Convention, were used as forced labor by the various Allied countries to work in camps outside Germany: 3,000,000 in Russia, 750,000 in France, 400,000 in Britain and 10,000 in Belgium. Meanwhile, in Germany large parts of the population were starving at a time when, according to a study done by former US President Herbert Hoover, the nutritional condition in countries in Western Europe was nearly pre-war normal. German prisoners engaged in dangerous tasks, such as clearing mine fields.
In Germany, shortage of food was an acute problem. According to Alan S. Milward, in 1946–47 the average kilocalorie intake per day was only 1,080, an amount insufficient for long-term health. Other sources state that the kilocalorie intake in those years varied between as low as 1,000 and 1,500. William Clayton reported to Washington that "millions of people are slowly starving".
Tyskland har alltså betalat krigsskadestånd till Polen, via Sovjetunionen. Synd bara för Polen att Sovjetunionen valde att behålla dem pengarna. Lite som de valde att behålla polsk mark. Men det stolta polska folket är för fega för att våga ställa liknande krav på Putin. Och darrade i knäna och sket i byxorna så fort Stalin harklade sig (lite svårt att klandra dem för det iofs, med tanke på vad Stalin redan hade gjort vs Polen och polacker).Citat:However, at the Potsdam conference the Soviet Union undertook to settle the reparation claims of Poland from its own share of reparations from Germany. In 1953 Poland agreed to forego further reparations claims against Germany. Meanwhile, Poland was now in possession of almost a quarter of pre-war German territory, including the important industrial centers in Silesia and the richest coal fields in Europe. In addition, many ethnic Germans living within the Polish pre-war borders were prior to their expulsion for years used as forced labor in camps such as the camp run by Salomon Morel, for example, Central Labour Camp Jaworzno, Central Labour Camp Potulice, Łambinowice, Zgoda labour camp and others.
Det är Ryssland som tog eran mark. Det är Ryssland som tog det krigsskadestånd som Tyskland utbetalade till Polen.Citat:However, at the Potsdam conference the Soviet Union undertook to settle the reparation claims of Poland from its own share of reparations from Germany.
