as Eastern Europeans drove Germans out of what had been German speaking enclaves.

That was Stalin's doing, he drew up the maps for Eastern Europe after the war.

Stalin is a very useful character. You can blame him for everything and expect others to believe.

Still: 1) it wasn't Stalin who threw stones at the Germans being herded from Pomerania, 2) Other WWII allies agreed to the Stalin's proposal, making them allies's, not Stalin's decisions.

I don't want to whitewash anyone in that situation, the Germans themselves had given enough reasons for the hard sentiments. And Russians too, of course.

Nevertheless, any attempts by today pampered arm-chair self-declared moralists to judge the WWII vets and survivors are laughable.
