Man Who Goes Looking For His Father’s Secret Attic Room Realizes What He’d Been Hiding 

what were the treasures we saw a doll a bunch of socks (good if you are championship wrestler Mankind) and not much else

buck rowley Actually it's pretty sad when you think about it. I bet that these were Germans that fled back to Germany at the end of world war 2. Those people often were poor farmers who didn't have much valuable possessions. As the family left they took what they could and the father must have been hiding these belongings in the hope of return or getting them back. My family had nothing left after they fled. They had no time to get their stuff and they even almost forgot one of my uncles

slovakia? iam from slovakia

Why did the dude wait till he was 90 to look for the hidden attic room

Ok....we're all done with the electronic voices. Enough already!!!!!

It's because Israel plants jews in other countries to gain influence. This had a massive impact on the US government, but not the russian governemt

This may be true.... Who am I to say! Yet, do you honestly believe any People need help being greedy? Greed is lying in wait in the hearts of all people... The only thing that matters is how you let it affect you and those you are responsible for.

People like you make me wish birth control was retro active

As long as people choose socialist and communist leaders there will be abusive rule.

Perhaps Bhutan. Problem is that you have to deal with swampy post war Europe, by law it is, indeed, property of government, morally you would have to investigate all steps of thins man's father during and before. Germans did same to the Czechs before war. Who is better?

There is a law against it so he probably will not get anything in the future

Aerin Lena It wasnt simply German Ancestory they were German and Austrian. They spoke German not Czech.

Brem My grandmother in law was forced out of Hungary. Her family had lived there for at least 100 years, but they were of German descent and forced to leave.

Shannah D. As had the German speaking people in north and west Bohemia. When the German speaking countries invade your country and force you to hand over your property, labour and service to them leaving many of your people to starve and gassing and burning thousands of them you can be damn sure they are going to face some sort of issue if they once lived within your boarders. Every European country ejected Axis nationals and confiscated in return, their belongings as compensation. Whether its right or wrong I am not passing judgement on, merely stating how it is.

Brem a

It will most likely end in museum. There is problem that this one singular event could trigger all demands from millions of Germans demanding return of their property. Only solution would be special law passed by parliament, but it would be silly law about socks and old books. I suppose that he could be able to gain personal things like photographies, albums or other such things, that could be perhaps negotiable and unless they are listed somewhere no one would search for them (And unless clerk is someone heartless there will not be any personal photographies listed), but not anything large, many of them even has no use today, like that old phone book or said socks.

Billy Bob Why?....So the Czech government could then go on and claim all of the items as their own? Fucking corrupt bastards!

*Billy* ____Always thought one can be "proud" of something *you* DID , or something retated to you...

Where are you from? Are you at least from Europe? There were events that resulted in war, those Germans in Czechoslovakia took not small part in starting of war, they did same thing to other, thus after war as measure to prevent any further problems they were expelled to Germany and Austria and their property confiscated. Those laws are part of foundations on which post war Europe was constructed.

Maybe. The government likely won't profit off of them directly by selling them. They most likely will find a home in an historical and cultural museum, that more often than not operate at a loss. If you want to talk about greedy governments, I offer Spain, with its numerous maritime violations, to seize bounties found by treasure hunters. Their navy has boarded private ships while claiming to be in Spanish waters looking for drug runners, detained and jailed people for not revealing their search logs, created diplomatic hazards for foreign governments...

SpeedDemon _1 not at all actually saving history from greedy people who will sell it to anyone with the highest offer even if the guy is gunna turn around and destroy it

The floating lama ha😂

Raiden MK The law says that all things left behind by German families belongs to the Czech govt. If you lived in the area during WW2 you would understand why. It wont be until have the generation that remembers the war passes that these kinds of things will be redressed.

Raiden MK because that's how EU governments work.

In state building. That is quiet strange.

MrToradragon vy ceské?

Perhaps... BTW Why do you ask?

MrToradragon velmi zajímavé..

Indeed

Hahaha 🤣

That is quiet problem when you discover something in state or town building, and when your ancestors with high probability took part in events against state. Resulting in their banishment.

LeAnn Cortez oh that's funny ! lmao

Indrid Cold........ Wow those women sound like some of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind during that time...Pure Classic 😏

Indrid Cold. You care to share. Lol

marco love I already have

I don't know where are you from, but event of WWII led to laws banishing Germans that by laws of that time committed various treasonous acts. This is just one case from hundred of thousands similar.

billp4 While watching the video that you were just talking about, I came to the conclusion that it does indeed use far too many unnecessary words to get its point across; therefore, I agree with you.

"only"?!

Andrew Y I once found an ancient rifle in a wall during demolition. It’s only a part of the barrel and the breech the rest has rusted away.

Pics or it didn't happen

rezbarbie24, It’s not that unbelievable, you fucking donut lmao

Bobette Jennett FUCK dupont.

Well he was either obsessed with weddings .. or he took off shagging around and divorced you every few month ?? .. Married once is enough, never mind 5 times lol !!! ... I know, don't worry .. I'm being sarcastic

Because that's what socialism/communism ultimately does with people's private property...

In short: There is law, decree, stating that Germans taking part in treason against Czechoslovakia have to go and all property left is now property of Czechoslovakia. This was proclaimed by president (Parliament was not working in first months and years after war) and government, as response on events of WWII and fact that German speaking parts of Czechoslovakia seceded and become part of third Reich, that was one of few triggers of WWII. As well Germans inflicted similar law on non-Germans in border regions of Czech republic. Czechs were not allowed to gain or inherit property in occupied parts and were forced to sell them to Germans and so on.

to be honest I thought that's what it was

mangiaracinaRR nice profile pic! Look at mine

Playhans magazines.

Graham M lol good one !

Graham M lol😂😂😂

Chris Weidner oh I doubt it the government don't care whether that stuff meant something to the person they just want it all!! It's the government after all

This is part of post war events, back then roughly three million Germans were banished from Czechoslovakia because of various treasonous acts during war.

Dweebatr0n me

something like that yeah....

I thought it would be like his dead wife lol

Problem is that his grandfather or father was expelled in accordance with laws stating that those Germans who took part in treason against republic have to go and their property was confiscated. His ancestor perhaps somehow gained citizenship of Third Reich, thus he lost his house after war. As well you quiet could not carry so many thing from state or town building unseen.

It might be messed up, but his family left voluntarily or were banished after WWII for some treasonous act and laws passed immediately after WWII state that property will be confiscated as some kind of reparation.

Law of post war Europe. It is silly but it is silly in this case, but it is still in place. Problem is that if they would gave it to him, it could trigger avalanche of claims. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene%C5%A1_decrees

Edward LaFlamme I think those socks were actually clean, else ...WHY WERE THEY BALLED ? I'm sure this mystery will fascinate scholars for years to come !

it will become a greater mystery than all the incan mummy girls of peru!

Old laws.

As I stated maybe 10 times or more. Germans were banished from Czechoslovakia after WWII and all property left become property of state, as well property left there before banishment. I think that you can deduct why they were banished.

Because of laws passed after WWII, I think you could find interesting articles about Beneš's decrees. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene%C5%A1_decrees In short, Germans and other taking part in war or treason or other crimes against Czechoslovakia were expelled or imprisoned and their property confiscated.
