German expulsions were Allied-sanctioned while Algerian exodus came from decolonization war

Evidence

Second, these two waves of mass migration took place in different historical contexts. The ‘flight and expulsion’ of Germans from the East took place during the final period and the aftermath of World War II (1944–50) and has to be seen against the background of Nazi policies of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Central and Eastern Europe between 1938 and 1944. During this period, the creation of ethnically homogeneous states through mass resettlements and ‘population transfers’ was still internationally sanctioned as a way to build stable societies and postwar order. Hence, the expulsion of the Germans was at least in part the result of agreements between the Allied Powers. By contrast, the ‘exodus’ of French citizens from Algeria – beginning in the 1950s, swelling in 1960–1, and culminating in 196229 – resulted from a different kind of war, the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62), which has to be seen in the context of worldwide decolonization. It was neither state-organized nor did it result from an international agreement. — Manuel Borutta and Jan C. Jansen, Vertriebene and Pieds-Noirs in Postwar…, 46
