Croatian Germans are members of the German national minority, whose presence on Croatian territory can be traced back to the 13th century. A large number of Germans settled on the territory of Croatia after liberation from the Ottomans in the 19th century. Another name for members of the German national minority is Volksdeutschers, that is, the name for Germans outside the territory of Germany. The work consists of several parts, the first part explains the presence of Germans on Croatian and Yugoslav territory. The second part refers to the question of who Croatian German women actually were, that is, when they came to the territory of Croatia, what was the role of Germans in Croatia before the beginning of World War II. Then the work discusses the implementation of agrarian reform and the expulsion of Germans from their estates, but also about legal status within Yugoslavia. The third part is about the imposition of collective guilt on the majority of Volksdeutschers for the crimes of the Third Reich. Then the work discusses the fate of German women in Germany, but also about the fate of Yugoslav German women. The fates of women from Berlin during the Soviet occupation are compared with the fates of Croatian Germans. The last part of the paper refers to the fate of Croatian Germans in the Krndija camp. Their everyday life, living conditions, diet, illnesses and other problems they faced . At the very end, some of the letters of Croatian German women are shown, and then also the songs that female camp inmates wrote and sang in the camp, as well as the remains of a scrapbook from the private property of a Croatian German woman. The aim of the work is to show their painful fate that befell them unjustly in the years after the war. Croatian Germans were dehumanized by the new government, but the work, although full of their personal and difficult testimonies, wants to show their will for freedom and life.
