Summary/Abstract: The ostracism and dispossession of the Germans in Vojvodina as a result of their comportment during the Second World War, was recorded in scarce, anti-German terms by three major Serbian papers »Politika«, »Borba« and »Slobodna Vojvodina«. The Volksdeutschers were most frequently mentioned in the press towards the end of 1944, when their rights and property were taken away. The newspapers’ assignment was to justify the authorities’ measures against them and to depict the entire national minority as criminals. After this period news about Germans were sporadic and scarce but were still marked by an anti-German note. The most important event in the life of the Germans of Vojvodina in the period between 1945 and 1948, their release from prisons in which they had been kept, was never mentioned in the press.
