With backing from mainstream conservative and Social Democrat personalities, politically powerful groups of expellees from former German territories in the Czech Republic and Poland are mounting newly aggressive campaigns to regain their old properties and memorialize themselves as World War II victims.
Well there is no question that the Soviets and Poles committed serious atrocities on the Germans after WWII - and no we aren't using the modern media panties-on-the-head version of the word here - there is no way you can present Germany as a victim.
As for freeing Germny from the NAZIs, outside of the German equivalent of the American right (Stauffenberg, Bonhoeffer, etc) they didn't *want* to be freed.

My father was married to a German woman for a few months. Whenever her family got together they still spoke highly of Hitler.

Benes the Czech was far worse than the Poles with respect to dispossessing German "settlers". However, the Germans were not liberated they were F'ed in the mud as were the Japanese. The PC elites don't want the common folk to remember how wars are really won. For some reason the preservation of the Islamic Home World has been the Prime Directive of Foggy Headed Bottomhole for decades.
