Historie
At the end of World War Two, the Czechoslovak government expelled up to three million German speakers, known as the Sudeten Germans.
They were accused of being loyal to Nazi Germany and collaborating in war crimes.
By 1946 the expulsions were in full swing, and Helmut Scholz, who was a six-years-old at the time, was caught up in the turmoil.
Helmut tells Phil Jones about the traumatic train journey, in a cattle truck, from his home in Czechoslovakia to Germany.
