How the Czechs robbed and deported 3 million citizens of their country – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia And they tell us about the deportation of peoples to the Soviet Union... In 1945, Czech “patriots” expelled 3 million citizens of their country from the state, having previously robbed them?... “Women, children and old people in the heat were forced to walk 55 kilometers to the Austrian border. There were almost no adult men among the exiles - they either died at the front or were captured. Those who could not walk were beaten, and in case of dissatisfaction they were simply shot. There were corpses lying on the side of the road—exhausted people walked past them without looking back.” This testimony of a German woman from Czechoslovakia is just one of thousands of stories of refugees from the Sudetenland. We are talking about the Brunn death march, which took place from May 30 to 31, 1945 - then the Czechoslovak authorities carried out mass deportations. . the German population of the city of Brno and nearby villages to neighboring Austria. According to official data, 649 people died during the deportation, but Austrian and German sources put the figure between two and eight thousand victims. The current government of the Czech Republic refuses to recognize the eviction as murderous - in 2015, local volunteers conducted a soil analysis along the road from Brno and allegedly did not find mass graves. However, many witnesses claim the opposite. Czech historians claim that during the expulsion of three million Germans from the cities of Czechoslovakia, 22,247 people died under “various circumstances.” became victims of deportations carried out in Great Britain... Of course, the Czechs had nothing to love the representatives of the German minority. On October 1, 1938, they energetically and joyfully greeted Hitler, who, under the threat of occupying Czechoslovakia, annexed the Sudetenland, where 90% of the population were “Aryans,” to Germany. The leader of the Nazi “fifth column” in the Czech lands, Konrad Henlein, was appointed Reich Commissioner of the Sudetenland, and the Germans there willingly joined the ranks of the Wehrmacht and SS divisions. On March 14, 1939, the Nazis captured the rest of Czechoslovakia with the loss of just six soldiers—the Czech army offered little resistance in the “Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia,” as the Nazis called the piece of torn country. there were no serious party movements or large-scale underground uprisings (with the exception of rare murders of the occupiers), and 350 thousand Czechs worked in German arms factories. The famous assassination of SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich in 1942 was carried out by Czech and Slovak saboteurs sent from Great Britain. The Prague uprising against the Nazis began on May 5, 1945 - after the fall of Berlin, just 4 days before the surrender of the Reich. As for the Sudeten Germans, Hitler's main admirers, the Czechs were often afraid to say a word against them: any criticism of the “Aryan master race” threatened with arrest and sending to prison. Don’t ride a bike, keep quiet... But after the defeat of Germany, the situation changed completely. The President of Czechoslovakia, Edward Beneš (in 1938-1945, he lived in exile in the UK and the USA) issued a number of decrees - on the confiscation of any property of the Sudeten Germans, including housing and land, on the transfer of arable land, gardens and vegetable gardens to "Slavic farmers", and , most importantly, about depriving residents of German nationality of Czechoslovak citizenship. The Germans were forced to wear a white bandage with the letter H on their sleeves, their cars, motorcycles and even bicycles were taken away from them, they were forbidden to walk on the sidewalks (!), and they were forbidden to eat apples from the yards of their own houses. (buildings changed hands), use public transport, visit parks, speak their native language in public places. Repressions occurred everywhere. On the night of June 19, 1945, in the city of Přerov, a detachment of Czechoslovak counterintelligence under the leadership of Lieutenant Pazur (lately a police officer in the service of the Nazis) stopped a train with German refugees. They pulled them out of the train and shot them - 71 men, 120 women and 74 children were killed (the youngest was barely 8 months old). Přerov's Soviet commander Popov ordered the arrest of Pazur, who had fled to Slovakia. Popov was persistent and put pressure on local authorities, showing signs of a bloody lynching of refugees. In 1947, Pazur was convicted, but already in the fifties he was released. They burned, drowned, beat with sticks... On July 31, 1945, an ammunition depot exploded in the Czechoslovak city of Usti nad Labem. The Germans were blamed for what happened - the townspeople began to capture and kill them, recognizing them by their white armbands. Dozens of “southerners” were thrown from the bridge into the river: trying to swim out, they were shot - 220 people died. In the city of Domažlice, 200 Germans were burned and beaten with sticks, in Podborany - 68. Thousands of women were raped or “paid” Czech soldiers with their bodies - for the right to leave by train, instead of walking tens of kilometers along. foot German houses were looted everywhere. The degree of hatred has decreased, and here many will understand the Czechs - it was the separatism of the inhabitants of the Sudetenland that brought Hitler to Czechoslovakia. And the arrogant behavior of the Sudeten people, who considered the local residents to be powerless servants, led to the following result: the indigenous population simply “blown the roof off” with anger. Indeed, let's not forget: in 1945, the Czechs did not take revenge on the armed SS invaders, but took it out on defenseless women and children. Even the Americans in the west of Czechoslovakia noted that the Czechs surpassed the Germans themselves in mocking the Germans. Although President Benes called on his fellow citizens to carry out the deportation “in a non-violent and non-Nazi way,” the opposite happened: “Return 260 billion euros!”... Here we can compare. In the Soviet Union, the Germans were also expelled from East Prussia when Koenigsberg became known as Kaliningrad. The deportation began in October 1947 and lasted about two years. The “Prussians” were allowed to take 300 kilograms of personal property with them (the Germans were thrown out of Czechoslovakia “with everything they had”), the settlers were transported by train and were not forced to walk for days under the scorching sun. . . During the transportation process, out of 102 thousand natives of Prussia, only 48 people died: mostly hospital patients and very old people. This is also bad, but does not compare with the tens of thousands of victims of the “death marches” and the millions of residents of the Sudetenland, robbed to the bone in Czechoslovakia. During the Stalinist deportation in 1941 of the Volga Germans (446 thousand people), they were sent in wagons to Kazakhstan, Altai and beyond the Urals (in very poor conditions, but not yet on their feet). Unfairly exiled in 1956. The Germans were given the opportunity to return home, and some people had their property returned. The Czech Germans never dreamed of this. Since the Czech Republic became a member of the EU, Austria and Germany have raised the issue of compensation and apologies for brutal treatment of civilians. Organizations of Sudeten Germans in Austria stated that they would demand 260 billion euros (!) from the Czech Republic for selected plots of land, houses and apartments. The current President of the Czech Republic, Milos Zeman, called the Sudetenland “traitors to the homeland” and “Hitler’s legion.” On some streets in the Czech Republic there are signs: “In memory of the victims of pogroms.” That's all.
