Well, some Germans have "returned" to Germany where they haven't lived for centuries. In Czechoslovakia, there were Beneš Decrees[1] which meant the loss of citizenship and expropriation of the property of about three million Germans and Hungarians. Particularly interesting are the legal opinions around "guilt" vs "responsibility": Together with the other European states and their governments, unable and unwilling to counter Nazi expansion from the very start, also the German nation is in the first line responsible for the inception and development of Nazism, although there were many Germans who had actively and bravely opposed it.
