To the Victors Go the Pencils...and Erasers
At the very same time that the champs were grandstanding at Nuremberg, millions and millions (12 to 14 by most accounts) of Eastern Europeans of German ancestry were being forcibly removed from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia. It was one of the most atrocious examples of ethnic cleansing in all of human history and the death toll was ultimately somewhere between 600,000 (the German Historical Museum's number) and 2.2 million (the German Red Cross's number). To say that there were atrocities (not to mention, hypocrisy) on both sides of this idiotic war is round about correct, folks.
