Zhůří, Šumava (Bohemian Forest) in Czech Republic. Upper photo from 1923, lower from 1998. Many villages and towns in the Czech and Polish borderlands no longer exist as the pro-nazi inhabitants were forced to leave after WWII.

They took the houses too?
Saying “pro-nazi” is an unecessary and not fully acurrate label. Most Germans were forces to leave, regardless of their political views. Yes, most of the Germans were pro-nazi, but it’s not like the communist or pro-democratic Germans were allowed to stay.
The end of the title…bruh
Not all were pro-nazi, that’s a fact.
Many innocent people were forced to leave, German anti-nazi resistance members included. (They were at first told they could stay, they even got papers confirming they can stay because they were fighting against nazis/fascists and later many of them were forced to leave because someone decided that they needed to get new papers but the officials pretty much didn’t want to give these certificates to the people. Many other left when they saw what was happening to other Germans)
On top of that, literally thousands were killed, quite often by Czech ex-nazi-collaboratots, and that again includes so many innocent people, resistance members and kids too…
Edit:
We could even apply the same logic to everyone in the central/eastern Europe and say that everyone here was a commie, lol. You wouldn’t do that though, would you?
Edit2:
We also shouldn’t forget that these “pro-nazi” people were even Jews who survived the holocaust. It couldn’t possibly be more ironic than that, right?
