Prof. Gotthold Rhode, a leading expert in Eastern European history, commented on Nawratil`s book "Die deutschen Nachkriegsverluste" (German Post-War Losses): "Nawratil`s small, clearly shaped book makes a contribution - by its objective, never accusing style - to not forgetting these victims."

"Knowing that historic truth is indivisible, Heinz Nawratil relates what happened at the end of Word War II in the East of Europe. Properly, the author calls expulsion and crimes against Germans the last chapter of unconquered past." (Bayerischer Rundfunk, 29th May 1999)

Heinz Gottfried Nawratil (18 June 1937 in Suchdol nad Odrou, Czechoslovakia – 15 May 2015) was a German lawyer, legal author and human rights activist.

After World War II Nawratil settled in Bavaria, West Germany, where he grew up in Miesbach. He studied law, earned a doctorate and worked as a civil law notary beginning in 1970. He was awarded the Förderpreis of the »Stiftung der Deutschen Gemeinden und Gemeindeverbände zur Förderung der Kommunalwissenschaften« in 1965. He is also known for his research on the expulsion of Germans after World War II, which has been criticized by German historian Martin Broszat (former head of Institute of Contemporary History in Munich) as "polemics with a nationalist-rightist point of view". Borszat wrote about Nawratil that he "exaggerates in an absurd manner the scale of 'expulsion crimes'".
