The majority of the expelled Sudeten Germans settled across the border in Bavaria, with most of the remainder settling in Austria. Former Bavarian Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauss labelled them “Bavaria’s fourth tribe”. 7 Former German Finance Minister and chairman of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Theo Waigel, assured the Sudeten Germans that the CSU was the “lawyer for your legitimate petitions”. 8 Edmund Stoiber followed the CSU tradition of providing strong rhetorical backing for Sudeten German interests. In addition, Stoiber’s wife is an expelled Sudeten German. According to one survey, in 1994 over three million of Bavaria’s population of twelve million claimed Sudeten German origin.

Strauss og forhistorien:

With the growth of a new generation born after the end of the second world war, direct memory of the past is being replaced by distance from it.49 Franz Josef Strauss was one of the first to sense the consequences of this process and the opportunities it presented to the far right when he astutely declared: "We have to end the attempt to limit German history to the twelve years of Hitler-the representation of history as an endless path of German mistakes and crimes, criminalizing the Germans. ... We must emerge from the dismal Third Reich and become a normal nation again."

The Bayern-Kurier was a vehicle for party reformers. It was founded in 1950 by Lorenz Sedlmayr – a man whose roots were in the Christian trade union movement and who was a long-time advocate of a Christian people’s party20 – and by Franz Josef Strauss, both of whom were on the liberal-conservative wing of the party.21 Strauss, moreover, had become CSU general secretary in 1948 and was already emerging as the party’s most important federal politician.

Importantly, there were even strong voices in the CSU urging closer co-operation between the two parties.46 Such demands hinted at the prospect of a new political constellation among Bavaria’s regionalist forces. That this did not happen was primarily due to the opposition of Hans Ehard, then the Bavarian minister-president, and Franz Josef Strauss, the CSU general secretary at the time. Ehard feared that coalescing with the BP would discredit his strategy of constructive and moderate federalism, while Strauss disdained the BP’s backward-looking parochialism, which he viewed as a hindrance to Bavaria’s economic modernisation [BP = Bayernpartei].
