The Polish western frontier was set by Stalin, Roosevelt went along with it but Churchill was against it. The population east of the Oder Neisse line was according to the 1939 German census 9,677,000 excluding Danzig 380,000 and the Germans in Poland around 1,000,000. Almost all these people either ran away before the Red Army or were expelled by the Poles. Maybe 1,000,000 remained in the anexed areas many of these because they could claim Polish ancestry, not difficult in Silesia, or were needed for some reason.

Aproximatly 1,500,000 Poles moved west from the area anexed by the Soviet Union the Poles also solved a Ukranian minority problem in eastern Poland by moving 300,000? Ukranians into the former German territories.
