Legal and economical situation of the German population in Poland 1945 – 1949

Summary/Abstract: In years 1945- 1949 the German population was treated in Poland as the stateless and intended to be displaced onto the Russian or British occupation region. Thus, the population did not have any civil rights. It was also deprived of its fortune and obliged to compulsory work. For the purposes of the country reconstruction 25%- 35% was withheld out of a German worker’s salary on the payment day. Consequently, the Germans living in Poland coped with difficult living conditions. The poor sanitary conditions together with poor victualling led to the intensification of infectious diseases. The considerate part of German citizens was detained in camps where terrible conditions prevailed and numerous abuses and deaths among the prisoners occurred.
