• Landsmannschaft Schlesien Landsmannschaft Ostpreussen The associations actually require that members or their ancestors were born in respective region. People that emigrated from Silesia 1950-2003 as the ethnic Germans, are also included. Nico refused to state the truth. He insists that all members were expelled. He also uttered Even the migrants must be considered expellees, since their homeland was under occupation and Germans generally was discriminated and threatened in these areas. Source User talk:Nico The paragraph indicates, that Nico is a revisionists, that don't accept existing borders (under occupation) I am not sure if we want to have revisionsts Wikipedia?

I thought it would be correct to name them expellees, as that is what they name themselves. When they emigrated, Germany had not recognised the current borders. But do as you want. And in any event, what is wrong with considering East Prussia rightfully German, in accordance with international law (the Geneva protocols states: "It is illegal to permanently keep land militarily taken over and to expell and to replace the inhabitants") -- Nico 01:43, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I wonder, why you think that East Prussia is rightfully German? The question is, what that right that you consider superior towards international law? AM

[edit] Spelling

Why Ostpreussen and not Ostpreußen in the article title? —Tkinias 07:54, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"rv edits by Schleseir back to Molinari (picture is of region, not organisation, the org doesn't play singnificant role in DE politics, other edits are vandalism))"

1)Which other edits?! 2) Editing of articles is not vandalism--Schlesier 19:54, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My wrong, other edits were not vandalism. Whether landsmanchafts plays significant role in German politics would be better discussed on its page, to create consensus. Once more my apology for quick and wrong judgement. Pavel Vozenilek 20:40, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
