Weight-loss program?
Toenail collection?

It doesn’t seem right that he should have to turn over his family’s possessions to the Czech government. They already stole his family’s house and ethnically cleansed them from their historic home region.

Sad that the items are being classified as “german property” when clearly they are not. Grandpa should have kept his mouth shut.

The Czechs were extremely harsh on the Germans after the war. In a way, can’t say I would have blamed them for the nonsense the Nazis pulled in the Sudetenland.

In case anyone is curious and can't get to the article:
So far several packages have been unpacked. Some umbrellas, hats, badges, paper weights, paintings, pens, school tables, unpacked cigarettes, socks, books, sewing kits and much more. Everything was in very good condition according to the historians.
I'd pay money to hear the guy who stored the stuff tell me why he stored what he did, but unfortunately he's long gone.
To: Red Badger
Just a bunch of old junk, shoe polish, and books.

The Germans weren’t all that nice when they occupied the rest of the country after they grabbed the Sudetenland.

retaliation for the assassination of heydrich in prague Correct. The irony being that very few Nazis shed a tear over Heydrich being gone, they all hated him. But Hitler loved the guy.

Usti nad Labem, formerly Aussig is in the Sudetenland. Germans were invited to settle there after the area was depopulated during the Black death. The Germans lived there for 600 years but never really assimilated. After the Munich Accord in 1938 the Nazis took over. At the end of WWII all Germans were expelled from the former Sudetenland, becoming part of the greatest mass migration of the 20th century.
One of my ancestors came from about 200 km east of Aussig and settled in Hesse, Germany some time before 1659 when he married his wife in a Lutheran church. Presumably he was forced out at the end of the 30 Years War because he was a protestant in Catholic Bohemia. Forced migrations are nothing new to that part of Europe
