Description:Here, in historical perspective, is a balanced account of the massive deportation of Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II. In an effort to understand the reasons for so drastic and far a reaching a measure, Dr. Luža has examined more than three decades of Czech-German relationships. In doing so he has provided a demonstration of how the historian's dispassionate pursuit of truth can be combined with a humane concern. Dr. Luža outlines, first, the complex geographic, economic, and social factors that led to the creation of the Czechoslovak Republic after World War I, giving particular attention to the role of the German minority there and the policies of the Prague government toward it. Against this background he tells the story of the rise of pan-Germanism in Czechoslovakia, as the Sudeten German Heinlein Party at first covertly, then openly, allied itself with Nazism. After a discussionof the Munich crisis and of the destruction of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, Dr. Luža examines the Nazi occupation and the Protectorate regime and treats at some length, and the now little known activities of the Czechoslovak Resistance and the reprisals that followed. The transfer itself, with all its enormous administrative, financial and emotional problems is described at length and the author sums up the present situation of the Sudeten Germans and the still unflagging nationalist ardor of their leaders. Objective at its presentation, meticulous in its scholarship, this is a book of enormous value for all readers interested in the study of national minorities, population relocations, and modern European history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
