One of the interests that I started reading up on was around the state of post-war Germany in particular West Germany, this eventually lead to reading up on the fall of the Berlin wall and what happen during reunification… if I remember rightly there were similar issues when Germans left to the West and they homes/land were taken by the Soviets, after the wall fell many returned and long running disputes/court cases ensued as they wanted their land back from the current owners… I’m pretty sure there was a limitation on how far back they looked to determine who were the rightful owners.
