Relocation
In the first years of World War II, the majority of the 16,000 Dobruja Germans, as well as the Bessarabian and Bukovina Germans, were relocated into Germany. This was done under the motto: Heim ins Reich (Home into the Empire). The refugees lived temporarily in relocation camps in Austria, but in 1941/1942 they resettled the German occupied eastern territories in Bohemia, Moravia and Poland. At the end of the war, they fled west, and were found as refugees in all four occupation zones in Germany.
