In some way Germans are more united now, just as he wanted

Clearly the Sudetes in Czechia miss being in the Holy Roman Empire

Look at how they massacred my boy and then claim it’s illegal to take territory away from others because it’s ‘ethnic cleansing’.

Germans in the Balkans have always seemed strange to me. I’d really like to go back in time and meet a few of them

Lots of german speaking minorities in Hungary and we love them and their unique culture! I had the honor to attend one of their village festivals in Hercegkút, lovely people, great food, great wine!

There are still German speakers in Alsace and the region around Opole though. And you could argue that there are isolated german language islands in Spain due to many Germans emigrating there.

NGL, they kinda brought it on themselves. Not saying the ethnic cleansing of Eastern Europe by the Soviets was right, but it kind of makes sense.

German isn’t a majority language anywhere in Denmark. We have a German minority of around 15K spread throughout southern Jutland. But the Danish minority on the German side is much larger, around 50K

Wasn’t there also Germans in that little piece of Russia?

Do they still speak German in Alto Adige/Südtirol?

Keep in mind this isn’t only because of them dying, but a lot of them got repatriated to modern-day Germany during the war.

This map is not large enough it completely misses the Volga Germans in Europe and Asia.
It also misses the german speaking communities in the USA and South-America.

Russia would need the same treatment if we want to avoid more troubles

When you want to wipe somebody out, usually you’re the one getting wiped

Why were there so many Germans in modern day northern Ukraine and in Russian Poland

It always seemed that Germany had a wider representation in the Baltic provinces of Russian Empire. In general, the German diaspora was much larger; for example, two million Germans lived in the Volga region.

It’s a shame so many Germans were forced to move out of the Sudetenlands after the war. The cities there were completely depopulated after.

The two world wars really hurt the spread of the German language globally. Because of the first world war, Germany had to give up her colonies in Africa and the Pacific. It’s interesting to think that if Germany had kept her colonial possessions longer that there may have been German speaking countries in Africa and the Pacific today. Also German was widely spoken in the US prior to the first world war but speaking it was discouraged after the outbreak of war since it became “the language of the enemy”. I do wonder if Germany had maintained favorable relations with the US, that there may have been some states with a large German speaking population similar to Quebec in Canada.

The map could also extend a lot further east to cover the [Volga Germans](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga Germans) who settled in Russia under Catherine the Great. By the time of WW1 they were around 4 million in number. They were destroyed as an ethnicity by Stalin who forcefully deported over a million to Siberia and Kazakhstan, and during WW2 as many as 1.5 million Volga Germans were genocided in gulag concentration camps.
