Did Germany keep any parts of Silesia after World War II?

mementoflash

In 1945, all of Silesia was occupied by the Soviet Red Army. By then a large portion of the German population had fled Silesia out of fear for the revenge of the Soviet soldiers, but many returned after the German capitulation. Under the terms of the agreements at the Yalta Conference of 1944 and the Potsdam Agreement of 1945, German Silesia east of the rivers Oder (Odra) and Lusatian Neisse (Nysa Łużycka) was transferred to Poland. Most of the remaining Silesian Germans, who before World War II amounted to about 4 million, were forcibly expelled. A small German speaking remnant remained however in the region around Opole/Oppeln, as well as some Slavic speaking and bilingual remnants of the pre-1945 population of Upper Silesia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesia Apr 16 06, 9:49 PM
