    In Europe alone it is estimated as many as 65 million people were forced from their homes by the war including those used as slave labour by the Nazis, ex-Prisoners of War, and the millions of citizens whose homes had been bombed and shelled and who had fled advancing armies.

            You’re acting deliberately obtuse. Millions of people fled from the war, also known as “moving”, to reference your original comment.

              I’M the obtuse one? You’re acting like fleeing from your bombed home, is the same as choosing to move away from idiocy…

              “refugee and migrant is the same thing”…
