Allied Powers:
"15,000,000 people have been deported"
"Since the end of the war about 3,000,000 people, mostly women and
children and overaged men, have been killed in eastern Germany and south-eastern
Europe; about 15,000,000 people have been deported or had to flee from
their homesteads and are on the road. About 25 per cent of these people,
over 3,000,000 have perished. About 4,000,000 men and women have been
deported to eastern Europe and Russia as slaves. It seems that the elimination
of the German population of eastern Europe - at least 15,000,000 people
- was planned in accordance with decisions made at Yalta. Churchill
had said to Mikolajczyk when the latter protested during the negotiations
at Moscow against forcing Poland to incorporate eastern Germany: "Don't
mind the five or more million Germans. Stalin will see to them. You
will have no trouble with them: they will cease to exist."
Quoted by Sen. Homer Capehart in speech before U.S. Senate, Feb.
5, 1946.
