27. The problem was certainly solved at the end
of the war.

Germany was no longer cut in half because all of the Germans in East Prussia as well as large parts of Pomerania and Silesia were forcibly removed, and German land which had been unquestionably German for centuries were renamed and resettled by Russians or Poles.

The great German cities of Konigsberg became Kaliningrad, Breslau became Wroclau, Posen became Poznan and hundreds more. Millions of people were deported. Most fled in front of the Red Army in the winter of 1945 by foot. It's today considered the largest number of rapes in the history of the world.

It worked.

There aren't any marches or liberation fronts today. There aren't any refugees either. The refugees were long ago settled into the German population in what remained of Germany. And the estern portion of Germany is now just a memory.
