Is that part of old Poland or Germany?

That looks more like Belarus to me. The Poles have nothing on them really

Poland, Lithuania, Prussia, Russia

And back to poland now afaik?

Polish borders have surely been the most flexible in europe since national states/kingdoms came about

Yeah. Very close to Belarus now.

Up there alright in recent past. Along with the balkans. Being in between Germans, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the Ottomans was not a fun place to be for relatively recent history

They are ever changing of course.

Here’s 12 minutes well spent

I guess so much of it has been bomber and razed that there is very little of the old Prussia and Konigsberg?

The castles are rebuilt. The villages pretty intact. The big towns have lots of concrete.

Similar to Bratislava so

Noone does concrete quite like the eastern Europeans, which is a shame, as when they put their minds to it, the architecture is exquisite.
