As a result of several agreements between the Allies, the Baltic Germans were resettled into Germany, replacing the once Polish areas with Germans. The London-Lübeck Treaty of 1945 resolved that at the war's end, all ethnic Germans should be removed to Germany so as to protect them from the former Axis and her allied nations, as well as to replace the already decided removal of all Polish citizens from the agreed-to borders of Germany. The treaty stipulated: * About 7,000 to be resettled from Estonia by late March 1947 * Approximately 10,500 to be resettled from Latvia by late March 1947
