Rose Mary;

The citizenships law in Germany is different than here. A German child born to German parents no matter where will always be a German citizen. Works even retroactively.

As an example, my children, who were born in Canada and are Canadian citizen can request German citizenship as both of their parents were German. They would loose their Canadian citizenship, though.

Therefore when those ethnic Germans 'returned' to Germany, they had the right to German citizenship due to their ancestry linage.

How interesting, too, Jody that those born of Germans, even after hundreds
of years away, are considered citizens. This explains why our people went
to Germany when they were expelled from Romania as well. They weren't
welcomed by the Germans themselves but they were granted citizenship. I
wondered why Germany gave compensation to our people whose homes in Romania
were expropriated. Very interesting reading for many reasons. I have now
got to go back and read it thoroughly. Thank you for bringing this to our
attention.

The Ethnic Component of Germany's Ostforschung: The Interwar Years and
Beyond by Ute Ferrier
Ethnic conflicts were thus latent in the new Yugoslav state and by the eve
of World War II ethnic differences remained unreconciled. Yugoslavia is
particularly pertinent to this study because it contained a sizable German
minority, the Danube Swabians (Donauschwaben) who were almost entirely
expelled after World War II. It is particularly instructive to examine the
role Nazi ideology played in the events leading up to expulsion.
