Helga, I did not work on the article but a search turned up these articles:

Article text matches

1.German expulsion after World War II (2280 bytes) 2.List of poets (15391 bytes)

Perhaps it was merged into one of these.

There has also been some extensive discussion on the list recently about deleting small or poor stubs to improve our readers initial impressions of our content quality.

The emerging consensus on the list seemed split about fifty/fifty so it is possible that a random editor has deleted this as being too small and stubby.

I hope this was helpful.

It appears to have been deleted; although no one is coming forth to say exactly why. The only thing of significance he appears to have done is to characterize ethnic cleansing of Germans in Poland as genocide in 1957. That is included in the wikipedia article on German removal after World War II.

As far as it being removed as a stub, it seems have been a rightous stub in that although he had a life, and was a member of congress and has a museum in eastern Tennessee named after him, a reasonable article is going to be pretty short.
