After the last war, Germany has lost roughly a quarter to a third of its pre-Hitler territory. Up to 95% of the German population in those parts was evicted. There are no camps of refugees at the border for recruiting suicide terrorists but the refugees have been housed and found a new life in the rest of Germany.

Some of the refugees have harboured bad feelings for a long time but the official politics of Germany (all relevant parties in agreement) has been that there never will be any demand to get back the land nor to claim any damages. Despite that, there was never an official statement from the countries involved recognising injustice.

You may say that was a special case with Germany involved and with a look at the much bigger crimes done by Germany (Germans) in those countries. OK, I agree.

But then look at Finland that has lost a big part of its territory to the Soviet Union (Russia) or Poland that has lost the Eastern part of Poland to Russia with the inhabitants being evicted and sent to the former German part of Poland. In none of these cases there has been any acknowledgement of injustice from Russia to the best of my knowledge, and for a good reason. This acknowledgement would weaken their position in an international court case.

Have you ever heard of Finnish suicide bombers or of Polish people raiding now Russian villages?
