Deportation of Germans from Estonia: Who, where from and on what grounds?
Germans living in Estonia had the opportunity to relocate to Germany in 1939 and 1941, and it was also possible to receive permission to leave during the German occupation. In addition, fleeing became an option in 1944. However, despite these events, there were still Germans in Estonia, several hundred of whom fell victim to Soviet repression in mid-August 1945 and were deported to Russia.
