I know youre not advocating murder and rape. Sorry if I made it seem like that. But the reality is that people suffered because the Soviet Union wanted revenge on average Germans and they needed justification to steal land from Poland so they massacred the civilians in the east. Also, the allies occupied Germany and denazified it and rebuilt into a liberal nation for several decades. Dismembering Germany isn't what made Germany liberal. Denazification and Allied occupation is what did it.
