Czechoslovakia was slowly coming under the rule of the Communist Party, Germany lay in ruins and was initially divided between the four victorious powers: the USA, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France. Immediately after the war, Sudeten Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia and subsequently displaced finding a place to stay in a destroyed Germany, primarily in Bavaria.
