Post News, WWII-Era Mass Grave Believed to Contain 1,800 Germans.

WARSAW, Poland — Construction workers in northern Poland have unearthed a World War II-era mass grave containing what are believed to be the bodies of 1,800 German men, women and children who disappeared during the Soviet Army's march to Berlin.

Poles digging at the site of a planned luxury hotel in Malbork — which was called Marienburg and was part of Germany during the war — excavated a bomb crater at the foot of the city's famous 13th century Teutonic Knights fortress, authorities said Monday.

My mother is from Königsberg. Her family fled in 1945 too. I wonder if they were on the same boat?

That's a part of history that never gets talked about. People need to read A Terrible Revenge by Alfred DeZayas.

thats sort of a pat answer, but you'll note the Germans don't complain much (in public) about the consequences of their defeat.
