This action and its consequences became much more widely known following the publication of a 1975 article about it by Alfred de Zayas, who also devoted two books to chronicling this action. R.M. Douglas' recent book about this action takes its title, Orderly and Humane, from a provision to Article XIII (*) of the Potsdam treaty dictating how actions such as this one were to be carried out. The main framework for carrying out this action in one country were the Benes decrees, while in another nation, this action was accompanied by a "Slavicization" of groups of people collectively called the "Autochthons," who included the Kashubians. The 12 million people forced to relocate due to these actions represented the largest internal migration in Europe in modern times.
