Oder-Neisse line
Postwar Polish border
The Oder-Neisse line is the boundary between Germany and Poland, established after World War II along the Oder and Neisse rivers.
The border shifted Poland westward, transferring formerly German territories and displacing millions of Germans.
West Germany contested the line for decades; unified Germany formally recognized it in 1990.
