Fördrivningen av 15-16 miljoner tyskar från de bygder där deras förfäder ofta bott i sekel, med sannolikt mellan 2 och 3 miljoner av flyktingarna dödade eller omkomna under processen, är förstås ett föga uppmärksammat kapitel i europeisk nittonhundratalshistoria. Och jag finner den tyska bristen på revanschistisk hämndlystnad trots allt vara ett uppmuntrande tecken på historisk och kulturell mognad. Det finns inget utrymme för rabiat chauvinism i det framtida Europa, om det nu kommer att finnas något framtida Europa:

"---And, obviously, if you want to apply the Nuremberg principles to the German Expulsions, considering that the London Agreement was supposed to reflect, and not to create international law, so if that was applicable to the German crimes against the Poles with regard to deportation of Poles, and deportation of French for purposes of "Lebensraum," certainly it was applicable to the expulsions by the Poles of Germans and by the Czechs of Germans.
So, if you apply these Nuremberg principles and the Nuremberg judgement, you would have to arrive at the conclusion that the Expulsion of the Germans clearly constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Now as you all know, the more than 12 million German expellees who survived, and who have come to the Federal Republic of Germany, have been integrated into the democracy that the Federal Republic of Germany is, and have contributed to the European reconstruction and to the so-called
Wirtschaftswunder, which was facilitated through the funds of the Marshall Plan.
And one of the most noble things that the German expellees did, and I would invite all non-Germans to try to place yourselves in the position of the German expellees, and try to see it through their eyes, what it meant having lost homelands that were over 700 years German; having lost half of their families in the process of the expulsion, having suffered what they all suffered, having being spoliated and having been victimized, -- what it meant to adopt the Stuttgart Charter of the German Expellees, which provides specifically for renunciation of revenge and renunciation of violence.---"
