I meant that it was Polish city for the most of the time in the history. Also in 1909 65% of citizens spoke Polish language. I agree that the same principle applies to all ownership changes, as Wroclaw was rarely in the borders of Poland and Szczecin even less. German roots are massive there. And its uncommon in Europe to get a city without a conquer. It’s all the history.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood you there and thought this was something much worse. I was not looking forward to seeing this joke spark any sort of nationalist flag waving, as I could see that ending rather poorly for all involved.
