	German exodus from Eastern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German exodus from Eastern Europe refers to the exodus of the German populations to the east of Germany's and Austria's post-World War II borders.
		The presence of ethnic Germans in Central and Eastern Europe is rooted in centuries of history.
		Germans were resettled from territories which were occupied by Soviet Union in 1940 due to the August 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, notably Bessarabia and the Baltic states of Estonia and Latvia, all of which traditionally had large German minorities.

	Ethnic German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German presence in Central and Eastern Europe is rooted in centuries of history, that of Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Bukovina, Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), Bessarabia and of a fractious Germany and eastward parts of Europe made up of many city states, whose royal families ruled over multi-ethnic populations.
		The result was German colonization as far east as Romania, and Slavic colonization as far west as present-day Lübeck (on the Baltic Sea), Hamburg (connected to the North Sea), and along the river Elbe and its tributary Saale further south.
		Thus, the Danube Swabians settled in Pannonia and the Bukovina Germans in Bukovina.
