Second World War - The Truth behind the "Truth". Part II

Military history leaves us relevant teachings. It is something that goes beyond of a confrontation between groups of power. In order to obtain this knowledge, all available sources must be studied, particularly concerning the defeated or neutral countries, this because the story is written (or distorted) by the victors.

More than developing good articles about widely documented topics, my intention is to develop articles looking at historical facts from another perspective. An interpretation from different angles of the most emblematic events that took place in each armed conflict. In an explanatory way, in this article I will take as reference The Second World War.

This series of articles will be short, precise and concise, I hope you like it.

As compensation, Poland annexed the German regions of Silesia and eastern Pomerania. In turn, East Prussia was divided into two parts: the southern one was awarded to Poland, while the northern part was annexed by the Soviet Union, including Königsberg, which was renamed Kaliningrad, in homage to Mikhail Kalinin. The majority of German residents who remained at the end of the war, estimated at 200,000 out of a population of 316,000 in 1939, were expelled from the city.
