:iconarminius1871:
Just a little map about the territory loss of Germany in the two world wars.

Lost regions:

Elsass-Lothringen to France
Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium
Nordschleswig to Denmark
East-territories (Schlesien, Pommern, Westpreußen, Ostpreußen, Posen) to Poland and Russia

Not included are:

Sudetenland, Austria and Südtirol, because that map is based on the main-german-state not German-Austria.

I don´t want to seed hate, it´s just information. Also the Poles were expelled by Russians from their east-territories to settle in the old german east-territories.

I blame the crimes on the governments and their helpers on both sides, not on the normal people.

Ich habe Verständnis für jene die Ihren Besitz verloren haben und fliehen mussten. Aber im vergleich zu Frieden und einem guten Verhältnis zu unseren Nachbarn sind verlorene Terretorien nicht viel wert.

Zur Zeit sowieso nicht mit der furchtbaren Geburtenrate und 10 millionen Polen zu integrieren wäre auch schwer.

They should at least have Ostpreussen, Schlesien, and Pommern back. Poland can keep Posen and Danzig. Austria should also have the South Tirol and all the land back down into Triest back.

I made a map of the ethnic borders, the natural borders, but the human-made world-wars destroyed all that...at least Südtirol could become austrian again, it´s still german.
In Elsass-Lothringen do still live Germans, but they´re educted to be French since 70 years, so they wouldn´t agree maybe.

Our family refused to sign the papers after the 1+1 law was signed. We'll take no blood money for our estates taken by the poles and russians.

Quite "ironically", people living in the Eupen-Malmedy area(so, German-speaking community of Belgium) are the most belgian-patriotic, they are the ones who want the most to keep Belgian unity, and the ones who've the most important sympathy for the royal family.
