For all time. Emigration of the Baltic-Germans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2021
- At the beginning of World War II, from October to December 1939, the Baltic-Germans emigrated from Latvia. They were the third largest, one of Latvia's wealthiest, politically most organised and nationally unified minorities. Their emigration was the direct consequence of the non-aggression pact concluded on 23 August 1939 between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

I feel weirdly nostalgic towards the former parts of the Baltics inhabited by the Germans just love the languages and culture! I hope to visit Latvia one day,
Greetings from Germany friends, stay healthy!
Great video about a very fascinating point in history. Wish to see the Baltic countries one day.
One famous German from the Baltic countries was the sniper Bruno Sutkus.He fought as a volunteer in the German Army on the eastern front 1941-45,where had 209 confirmed kills.His father was German from Memel.His mother was Lithuanian.After WW2 Bruno Sutkus fought in the "Forest Brothers Movement".The Baltic Resistance Movement.They fought a furious guerilla war against the Soviet Union 1945-53.
Paldies! My father was a Baltic German and I am researching what happened to my BG side as well as the Lettish in my family. They are scattered, my father as an infant fleeing with my grandparents to the US from Riga........
Great untold story that only Germans and Latvians know. Thank you for telling the world.
Even most Germans don't know that. It is a pity that Germans learn so little about their own history. Hungarians for example tend to know much more about German history.
@@Leguan-tj9uj My Grandmother lived in Stettin (now Szeczecin, Poland) and remembered the ships with the Baltic Germans arriving with just a suitcase leaving everything behind.
Lieliska filmiņa! ❤

First word of the subtitle at 02:50
“Baltic Pagans”? Our people had been there in the Baltics since the 15th Century and the Hanseatic League
@Kristaps Ozoliņš Well, in that sense, many Baltic-Germans are ethnically mixed with Latvians (or the tribes at the time). Technically they could have been there for 3000+ years too.
@Kristaps Ozoliņš Yet most things of importance education etc were not build by you. So your point is?
they werent@@kartoffeln4879
And you were pagans until you were converted
Aren’t the Germans Who lived in East Prussia Like Baltic Germans since Prussia was a Baltic tribe
no...lithuanian germans wernt considered baltic germans either.....only those who lived in estonia and latvia
Ну,да,всё значительное,что есть на этой территории,особенно в Риге,создано немцами,русскими и евреями.Немцев в 1939 году обобрали и выгнали,евреев истребили,сейчас выдавливают русских...Какая талантливая и трудолюбивая нация.Кругом развал -промышленности,сельского хозяйства , нация вымирает и разбегается батрачить и продавться по всему свету...,зато национальная идея торжествует. Население этой территории за 30 лет снизилось на 40 процентов.Оттуда, где хорошо,не бегут и там не вымирают.Продолжайте в том же духе.😂😂😂...😅😅😅
Why deportation is called emigration? How long will you lie, dear Latvians?!
with the signing of the nazi-soviet pact in august 1939 he demanded a proviso that that the german populations of the baltics be allowed to leave and resettle in "germany"....essentially warthegau/west prussia..replacing polish populations..hitler also struck a deal to remove all ethnic germans from soviet occupied poland and later bessarabia when the soviets annexed that territory...basically he was wanting to repopulate poland with suitable racial stock...and prevent germans from being ruled by the soviets
What exactly is a lie there? in 1939 Latvians certainly weren't in a position to deport anyone
@@imantsvitols9758 exactly they didnt deport them..they agreed on the baltic german emigration with the reich government agencies the UWZ and Vomi...as i mentioned in my previous statement it was part of the heim in reich initiative
@@imantsvitols9758they weren't in a position to deport after June 17, 1940, not in 1939. And you know it.
@@stellaartua9946 no -i don't
Please elaborate -what deportations made by Latvians exactly happened?
