4 In March, 1943, the United States agreed for the first time to the transfer of German population from the areas- to be lost by Germany: The President said he thought we should make some arrangements to move the Russians out of East Prussia, the same way the Greeks were moved out of Turkey … while this is a harsh procedure, it is the only way to maintain peace.” B.
