Mecseknádasd
Mecseknádasd (Croatian: Nadoš, Nadaš; German: Nadasch) is a town in Baranya county, Hungary. Until the end of World War II, the inhabitants were Danube Swabians. Most of the former German Settlers were expelled to Germany and Austria in 1945–1948, following the Potsdam Agreement.[1] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there today. The majority are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange.
