thread_title:  [[Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50)]]  

message: Examples: "flight and expulsion of Germans from Poland" referring to the flight of Germans must be called "flight of Germans from former eastern territories", since Poland's borders were shifted. It seems a must to refer to the fact that a third of present Poland had a German majority. 
Example: "instead, the Soviets expelled Germans from the areas of Lower Silesia, Upper Silesia, Pommerania, East Brandenburg, and East Prussia and replaced them with Poles, most of whom were expelled from Soviet-occupied areas that were previously part of Poland." makes the Polish authorities seem completely noninvolved in the expulsions which seems highly unlikely  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.104.118.172 (talk) 09:14, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

message: :According to the 1931 census, around 740,000 German speakers -- 2.3 % of the population --lived in within the Polish borders of this time. Their minority rights were protected by the Little Treaty of Versailles of 1919. The right to appeal to the League of Nations however was renounced[by whom?] in 1934, officially due to Germany's withdrawal from the League (September 1933) after Adolf Hitler became German Chancellor in January 1933.
:..
:After Nazi Germany's invasion of the Second Polish Republic in September 1939, 
The coverage here jumps from some vague 1934 renouncement following September 1933 LoN withdrawal to a September 1939 invasion. Shouldn't there be some discussion of what was happening to the GMIP during this interim, after they lost right to appeal and preceding invasion? Particularly since Bloody Sunday (1939) asserts:
:months prior to the 1939 German invasion of Poland, German newspapers and politicians like Adolf Hitler had carried out a national and international propaganda campaign accusing Polish authorities of organizing or tolerating violent ethnic cleansing of ethnic Germans living in Poland
Even if there wasn't ethnic cleansing, if there were actually accusations of it being made as a pretext to invasion, that should be mentioned and then contrasted with what was actually happening and possibly being misinterpreted. ScratchMarshall (talk) 17:40, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
