Německá menšina na Orlickoústecku 1945 - 1948

The Czech-German relationships of "Orlickoústecko" have been forming since the very beginning of this region colonization. This thesis describes these relationships mentioned above within the course of centuries and emphasises the breaking points in the development ,which is the end of the World War 1st in 1918, undersigning Munchen Agreement in 1938 and the end World War 2nd in 1945. The aim of my thesis is to analyse relationships between the two ethnic groups at the "Orlickoústecko" region from 1945 to 1948, when co-existence of Czechs and Germans were significantly spoilt by circumstances of the World War 2nd. Futhermore, thesis tries to give double-sided view on the expulsion of German population and to analyse the way how the expulsion was proceeding with a comparison of both Czech and German angle of view. I'm also trying to enlighten the question whether any excesses were recorded during the course of expulsion. My analysis is predominately based on expert regional literature, the Chronicle of Ústí nad Orlicí, archive records and statements of living contemporaries.
