In the wake of World War II the Sudetenland became the scene of
ethnic cleansing, witnessing not only the expulsion of nearly three
million German speakers, but also the influx of nearly two million
resettlers. Yet mob violence and nationalist hatred were not the
driving forces of ethnic cleansing; instead, greed, the search for
power and property, and the general dislocation of post-war Central
and Eastern Europe facilitated these expulsions and the
transformation of the German-Czech borderlands. These overlapping
migrations produced conflict among Czechs, hardship for Germans,
and facilitated the Communist Party's rise to power. Drawing on a
wide range of materials from local and central archives, as well as
expellee accounts, David Gerlach demonstrates how the lure of
property and social mobility, as well as economic necessities,
shaped the course and consequences of ethnic cleansing.
