Historical peculiarity

In 1940, as a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Bukowina Germans were resettled in what is now Poland as part of Aktion Heim ins Reich , after parts of Bukowina had been militarily occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. When the eastern front drew nearer in 1944/45, the Bukowina Germans who had settled in the Polish areas fled to the west like the rest of the German population living there. After 1945, the approximately 7,500 Germans remaining in Bukovina resettled in the Federal Republic of Germany.
