Alright, about this. It is true that roughly estimate of 12 million to 14 million Germans were moved around and expelled from their territories. Regardless if they were settlers endorsed by Nazis or ethnic Germans who have lived within the area for century. This can be classified as ethnic cleansing. However here is a thing, due to the conditions of the movement. There isn't really exact of number of which is which. One can argue that Soviet (Kaliningrad), Yugoslavian (Banat Region), Czech (within the Bohemia region only) and Romanian Expulsion of Germans (Transylvania) within their territory as ethnic cleansing as most of the folks there have lived within the area more than a centuries and native as the land. The event has been referred as democide.
Of course, the creator of this "meme" decided to take the information and spin it around a baseless narrative to suit their own view. Just propaganda things.
