The Lost Woman - 1945
May, 8 1945, near Pilsen, Czech Republic. After the liberation of Czechoslovakia.
In May 1945, Czechoslovak troops took possession of the borderland. In July, Czechoslovak representatives presented plans for a “humane and orderly transfer” of the Sudeten German population. An estimated 1.6 million ethnic Germans were deported to the American zone, an estimated 800,000 were deported to the Soviet zone. Several thousand died violently during the expulsion and many more died from hunger and illness as a consequence. The deaths caused by violence and abnormal living conditions amount approximately to 10 000 persons killed. Another 5,000 - 6,000 people died of unspecified reasons related to expulsion making the total amount of victims of the expulsion 15,000 - 16 000 (this excludes suicides, which make another approximately 3,400 cases).
