/ What would have happened if the Volksdeutsche were not deported (expelled) to Germany? ______ Lavrentiy

To that I have to say what my Czech friends told me: "By not throwing out our Germans, we would not have cut off our legs to the Western World. We had to stagnate 50 years under Communism for which the majority voted in 1947." and my Volksdeutsche friends told me: "This was the best that could have happened to us!"

/ I have always wanted to find writings about Volksdeutsche who joined resistance groups, but never got around to do it. Anybody have some citations? I do a lot of Einwandererzentralstelle (EWZ) research at the US National Archives. In some letters to the EWZ, I always hope to find information that some or somebody had relatives who dearly loved their new land, that they were in the military of their new nation to defend that nation against all invaders and that living in Germany would be foreign to them.
