		Even in Germany, one of the positive and widely appraised aspects of the ideology of the Recovered Territories was the reconstruction of historical, old city centers that were demolished in the war.
		Those territories that Poland gained (don't give me your rhetoric SC, large parts of it were NEVER Polish or had not been for nearly a millenium) were what the Polish call the Recovered Territories, and the Germans called the Ostdeutsche Gebiete unter Polnische Verwaltung, or East German Territories under Polish Administration.

		The Persians were eventually defeated and the territories were recovered by Emperor Heraclius in 627.

		Much of this territory belonged to Poland until its partitions of (1772, 1793 and 1795) and returned to Poland only after World War I, in the Treaty of Versailles of 1919.
		The problem with the status of those territories recognised as German by the international community between 1920 and 1945 east of the Oder–Neisse rivers was that in 1945 the concluding document of the Potsdam Conference was not a legally binding treaty, but a memorandum.
		This ended the legal limbo state which meant that for 45 years, people on both sides of the border could not be sure whether the settlement reached in 1945 would be changed at some future date.

		For his efforts, Belisarius was rewarded by Justinian with the command of a great land and sea expedition against the Kingdom of the Vandals.
		The Vandal king Gelimer had recently offended Justinian by deposing and imprisoning the Vandal king Hilderic, and Justinian coveted the Kingdom's territory (much of the northern coast of Africa) in any event; while barbarian tribes held both Africa and Italy, Byzantium had little access to the western Mediterranean.
		Belisarius took the field and waged a brief, inconclusive campaign against them, but ultimately (545) was able to negotiate a peace (aided with payment of a large sum of money, 5000 pounds of gold), in which the Persians agreed not to attack Roman territory, not for eternity, but for five years.

		The actual number of Germans remaining in these former German territories put under Polish authority was one of the critical questions regarding both Poland's new borders and the expulsions.
		But, as noted, this also is clouded by the mass flight of Germans and their evacuation by the German Army during the war, and the attempt of many to return to their homes as the war was ending.
		Weighing a variety of such estimates, I calculate the dead for the eastern territories and old Poland as 415,000 to almost 3,100,000, probably around 1,600,000 Reich and ethnic Germans, as given in Table 12.1.
