Book description
The Sudeten-German Tragedy is a revisionist account that criticizes the post–World War II expulsion of ethnic Germans—particularly the Sudeten Germans—from Czechoslovakia. App argues that the forced removals, which followed the 1945 Potsdam Agreement, constituted a major humanitarian injustice and were carried out with brutality and disregard for international norms.
The author frames the Sudeten Germans as victims of political betrayal, tracing their marginalization from the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain through the Munich Agreement of 1938 and into the postwar expulsions.
The pamphlet challenges mainstream narratives by emphasizing the suffering of German civilians and questioning the moral legitimacy of the Allied decisions that enabled the expulsions.
