The Post-War Ethnic Cleansing of German Silesia
Stolen Heritage: German Silesia
In the parts of Germany taken for Poland in
1945, the entire ethnic German population was either murdered, expelled or
faced severe reprisals at war’s end. As cited elsewhere, in East Prussia and
Pomerania, from Danzig to Stettin to Elbing and to all of the old Baltic German
cities, catastrophic jewish Allied bombing was followed by jewish Red Terror.
The few surviving Germans in these areas were placed before violent judeo
Communist led “verification” committees who decided their fate. Their language
and civil rights were immediately suspended. Thousands died trying to flee.
Slave labor camps in Poland included, among those run by the infamously
sadistic Salomon Morel and Czesław Gęborski, the Central Labour Camp Jaworzno,
Central Labour Camp Potulice, Łambinowice, Zgoda labour camp and others. Aside
from being thrown into one of these 1,255 “labor” camps under Polish
administration in early 1945, it was estimated that about 165,000 Germans were
deported to slave labor in the Soviet Union from the German territories annexed
de-facto by Poland.
With German defeat in 1945, all of
Silesia was suddenly occupied by the jewish Soviet Red Army who, following
their violent pattern, embarked upon another horrendous spree of rape. In one
instance, 182 Catholic nuns were raped in Neisse and in the diocese of
Kattowitz, they left behind 66 pregnant nuns. Even small children were not
spared the horrors of violent sexual assault, and little girls were being
attacked as often as their mothers. Boys who tried to protect their mothers and
sisters were shot, as were many of the victims afterward.
Churchill proposed the genocidal
plan adopted at the 1945 Potsdam Conference for putting Poland “on wheels” and
“rolling it westward” into German lands. As a result of his final solution to
the “German problem,” millions of Poles were displaced from territories granted
to the USSR and even more millions of Germans were expelled from lands they had
inhabited since the 13th century.
Silesian Germans, some of whom had
roots in Silesia going back centuries, and who before World War II amounted to
about 4 million, were collectively labelled “German partisans” and either fled
or were murdered, put in camps, sent to the jewish Gulags or expelled. Often, the
men would be rounded up from the villages and camps and marched a short
distance away, shot and buried in mass graves. Under the terms of the
agreements at the Yalta Conference of 1944 and the Potsdam Agreement of 1945,
German Silesia east of the rivers Oder and Lusatian Neisse was transferred to
Poland. Poles from lands stolen by Stalin were trucked in and resettled there
before the blood had even dried. The Germans were sometimes ordered to not only
leave all of their possessions behind, they were ordered to leave the beds made
with clean linen. It was efficient, well-planned and organized.
An order of expulsion was placed
upon the expellees by Communist Section Commander Major Zinkowski:
1. On July 14, 1945 from 6 to 9 oclock resettlement of the German
population will take place.
2. The German population will be resettled to an area west of the river
Neisse.
3. Each German is allowed to take 20kg of luggage with him at the most.
4. No means of transportation (wagons, oxen, horses, cows etc) is
permitted.
5. The total of the living and dead inventory in an undamaged state
remains the property of Poland.
6. The last resettlement deadline will terminate on the 14th of July at
10 o’clock.
7. Noncompliance with this order will be punished severely, including
the use of weapons.
8. Sabotage and looting will also be prevented by the use of weapons.
9. Assembly point on the street station Bad Salzbrunn Edelsbacher Weg in
a four person marching column. The head of the column is to be 20 meters before
the village of Adelsbach.
10. Those Germans who have a certified non-evacuation order, are not
permitted to leave their dwelling with their family members from 5 o’clock to
14:00.
11. All dwellings in the city must remain open; all apartment and house
keys must be left outside.
Breslau
Thousands of Breslau civilians had
waited to evacuate the city when they heard news of the jewish Soviet advance
on January 14, 1945.They could not evacuate until 6 days later because of rail
damage and battles. In panic and desperation, 50,000 to 60,000 left on foot,
mostly women and children, in bitter winter weather. In the process, some
18,000 frozen bodies were recovered along their trails and 70 children were
crushed to death under wagon wheels. 90,000 Breslauers are thought to have died
in the trek. Partly because they realized the hopelessness of evacuating, another
200,000 or so civilians remained in the inner city, and by February 15, the
Soviet noose tightened around them. Breslau was the last major city in eastern
Germany to fall on May 7, 1945.
Although the city was only bombed
once, massive destruction took place in the aftermath. Breslau was largely
destroyed. The medieval parts of the city and almost all historical landmarks
were gutted. The buildings that escaped bomb damage were burned and looted by
the jewish Soviets. It was said there was a murdered, disfigured or
disemboweled German hung on every lamp post in the city.
The entire youth of Germany, boys of
14 to 17 years, and the Volkstrum, consisting of old men, were all the defense
that was left during these last days of war. These pitiful troops were all that
stood between Germany and Armageddon. Over a thousand of these boys arrived to
defend Breslau where they awaited the Russian onslaught. Many of the youngest
boys killed themselves out of sheer terror while others fought on desperately
for days until the city finally fell on May 6, 1945.
The 40,000 survivors of the German
garrison who surrendered were executed, thrown into mass graves or taken to the
Gulag, from which few returned. Over 30,000 more civilians would die, most from
homicide, but there were also about 3,000 suicides. The jewish led Red Army
went house to house and block to block embarking on vicious rape and slaughter.
For 77 days, the carnage and mayhem lasted, the Soviets murdering and burning
people alive. Thousands of Breslauers lay dead in the ruins, and the city was
almost 70% destroyed. Like most of Silesia, Breslau was placed under Polish
administration. Most surviving German inhabitants were expelled and all German
property was taken. By the 1950s, Breslau had been cleansed of most of its
dried blood as well as remaining Germans and the real history of the city.
Renamed “Wrocław,” it was resettled with Poles.
It was not just adults who were
expelled from their homes. Children became adults overnight when suddenly
orphaned or when separated from their parents, and they had to face the hard
and dangerous treks alone, at the mercy of the elements and vicious predators.
The violence used to obliterate the ethnic memory of Germans was degrading and
often fatal.
Reduced to slaves by their new
masters, Germans were forced to make public apologies for their “collective
guilt” at social and governmental gatherings. Others were sent to camps with
unbearable conditions. Of 8,064 Germans in Camp Lamsdorf in Upper Silesia,
6,488, including hundreds of children, died from starvation, disease, hard
labor, and physical maltreatment including torture. This repeated itself by the
thousands. Illness brought on by bad water, starvation, exposure and even
poisoning was rampant and suicides epidemic. Five times as many Germans died in
the first year after the War’s end as died during five of the War itself.
It is interesting to note that not
all Germans were expelled: in the Opole/Oppeln region in Upper Silesia. Some
German miners and their families were “allowed” to stay, but their culture was
repressed and they were virtual slaves. German language remained forbidden for
the next forty years. Forced out at gunpoint, old and young, rich and poor had
to leave their family homes behind furnished and unlocked for the new
inhabitants. The Oder-Neisse as the border of a new post-war Germany was
deceptively described as “tentative” until a final peace settlement with
Germany. The issue was not laid to rest by Germany until it was forced to sign
it as the high price for German reunification: some or nothing at all.
