After WWII many minorities found themselves on the wrong side of the border. SO they were moved en masse. Poles in the Soviet Union, Germans in Poland (east prussia), Greeks in Turkey and Turks in Greece. There were many of these movements. The Germans in the new Poland and Czechslovakia were just moved to Germany.
This wasn't a personal choice, this was the decision the victor nations (allies) decided on to prevent future causes for war, since the German population in Czechslovakia was seen as providing the excuse for Nazi aggression.

Do you mean the average citizens, not the military?
Some of them stayed, and some of them moved back to Germany, and a very large number of them emigrated to other countries, most notably the US, and several places in South America, including Chile, Argentina, and Peru.
For the most part, they were just sick of war, and sick of a totalitarian government, and communism looked just as bad to them as fascism had before, so they moved far away, and tried to start new lives.

At the end of the 4th Quarter, everyone went home.
