This paper The Expulsion of German Communities from Eastern Europe at the end of the second World War European University Institute, Florense. Makes an exhaustive description of the expulsions. It also deals with the Usti masacre, and gives references to a bunch of Books dealing with the subject, most in Czech.

If you want to make the article more accurate, and reference it, this would be an excellent starting point.

The anti-German atmosphere is dramatised by particular incidents, involving localised massacres of the German population. On the night of 18-19 June 1945 in Prerov in the Moravian lands the Czhechs organised a pogrom of the German population. 71 men, 120 women and 74 children were killed. On 30 May 1945 30 000 Germans from the second biggest Czhech town, Brno were forced to leave their homes. During the death march to the labour camps, located close to the Austrian border, they were brutally beaten. We do not know how many died during this march, however the estimates speak of several hundred people.

Another violent incident took place on 31 July un Usti nad Lebem. It was triggered by a series of explosions in the local munitions warehouse, that killed 28 people and wounded 39. The explosions were blamed on Werewolf organisations - gangs of German youngsters who alledgedly sabotaged Czhech installations and plottet to assasinate Czhech officials. Although there were no proof confirming this thesis, the Czhech militia and civilians initiated a real massacre in the town. Some women and children were thrown of the bridge into the elbe River and shot. Estimates of the numbers killed vary widely, even today, from 30-50, through to 200-400, and even as high as 600-700 civilians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stor stark7 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 4 May 2006

What is the difference between forcing jews to wear the star of David, and forcing germans to wear arm bands? The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazi's - worse actually, since Stalin was responsible for two or three times as many deaths as Hitler was.

More Russophobia

The segment, "Suspected Russian Involvement". Does that kind of speculation (garbage actually), belong in an encyclopedia? Dr. Dan (talk) 23:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

lynching

is a bit of a misnomer, since lynching is actually the extrajudicial killing of criminals or suspects. --41.19.119.25 (talk) 08:45, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

are you saying that the Ústí massacre was not extrajudical?178.210.114.106 (talk) 22:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Since the middle aged men were in POW camps the massacre was directed against women, children and OAPs. This normally falls into the category of genocide. However the comparatively small numbers do not allow this classification. On the other hand, such lynchings or massacres occurred in many other place. Therefore the category genocide may seem applicable, especially since the Czech government had granted a prophylactic amnesty to all perpretrators of such massacres. Thus they knew beforehand that they would not be prosecuted. Ontologix (talk) 06:42, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
