re: #50 Targetpractice

Europe is still dealing with the aftershocks of WWI and WWII.

The expulsion of the Sudeten Germans at the end of the Second World War is still a source of occasional controversy here in Czech Republic from time to time. Not long ago, about one week ago actually, the widow of an expelled Sudeten German got back the family property - and that court decision (from a Czech court, no less) ignited a shitstorm of controversy.

There’s real fear (among Czechs) that one of these days, the Beneš Decrees are either going to be overtuned by the European Court of Justice or by the Czech Constitutional Court. And the fear is that could open the country to having to pay untold billions in restitution…..or hand back the property itself.

So the 20th century’s aftershocks are far from gone.
