I live in Gdańsk for about 30 years. It's so weird seeing all the places I know so completely different. As if it wasn't Gdańsk at all. All the buildings that are not there anymore. People smiling, childrem playing. One can clearly see all the changes and the scale of destruction that has shaped this city as it is now.

3:00 and 4:25 The camera follows these two attractive women for several scenes, and I love how elegantly they are dressed, their posture and poise as they walk through this beautiful city. I hope they made it through the five years of war that is coming.

[@mikofi]

This film is incredibly interesting for someone from Gdańsk. So nice to watch the city before it was destroyed. Most of the places look a lot different now. Really dissapointing how the IIWW lead to the destruction.

Interessante Tatsache: Als Danzig am Kriegsende von Polen übernommen wurde und alle Ortschaften offiziell umbenannt wurden, wurde aus dem Danziger Vorort Langfuhr das polnische Wrzeszcz - ein Name, der so schwer auszusprechen ist, dass sich sogar die örtliche polnische Bevölkerung derüber geklagt hat. In Langfuhr war übrigens die Lage des ursprünglichen Danziger Flughafens zwischen den Kriegen / Fun fact: When Danzig was taken over by Poland at the end of the war and all the localities were officially renamed, the Danzig suburb of Langfuhr became the Polish Wrzeszcz - a name so difficult to pronounce that even the local Polish population complained about it. By the way, Langfuhr was the site of the original Danzig airport between the wars.

Lorsque je me demande si cette dame vit encore, je pense à ce qu'a connu cette région de Danzig-Königsberg (Gdansk-Kaliningrad) en 1944-45. Il est évident que, si c'est le cas, elle a vécu les bombardements, les atrocités ssoviétiques, la déportation vers l'ouest (Hambourg ou la Rhur) etc. Quant à moi, j'ai 65 ans et je ne suis pas "single", et si mon allemand est scolaire, mon anglais est inexistant (football, corner, penalty, tennis, brexit, Donald Trump).

Thomas, have you found anything out? My great-grandfather was from Danzig too. He was born in 1857 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1883 at age 26. He left behind 2 brothers. His father owned a factory. Their last names were von Dyck. Johann, George, and Cornelius von Dyck.

[@DavBlc7]

In 1940, as far as I see, it was summer just while we Brits were fighting for our country, the city was full of Germans, having got rid of the Polish or so they thought. I see most signs were in German and nearly all the people were Germans and the city looked very peaceful when they thought the war was won and I see a poster near the end of the clip "Britische..." followed by a word I can't see, as the only enemy they face was us Brits. Actually the war wasn't won cos we held on and Hitler turn on to the Russians. Five years later, the city was in ruins, captured by the Russians and a year later all Germans who still in the city were expelled and replaced by returning Polish people and Polish replaced German as the language of Denzig which later renamed Gdansk. It was said the city belonged to Poland long before the Germans stole it from them and today the city is truly Polish.

[@mronyoutube4082]

I agree with your sentiment, but your history isn't quite right. Danzig/Gdansk became part of Prussia in 1793. It really only became a Polish city after WWII. In the 30s, it was completely Nazified, and the population was about 95% German before the outbreak of the war. It was always an Eastern outpost of German culture/nationalism. Totally right, though, that while these pretty pictures were being taken, the Germans were in the process of "Germanifying" the rest of the country under occupation, with the view of eliminating the Jews and enslaving the Poles. I guess Danzig was kind of a model city in this regard, since it was Germanified from the start.

[@yobama8424]

@@mronyoutube4082 Your history isnt quite right either. Danzig/Gdansk didnt first become Polish after WW2, but when it was founded by a Polish king the the late 900s. It remained Polish until 1300s when the Teutons occupied the lands, but the city returned to the Krown in the 1400s, although with a significant German population, maybe even a majority. So the city changed hands throughout history and that is why it became a free city after WW1, because both countries had historical claims to the land. To be fair tho, it has been under Polish rule for a longer time than under Germans.

[@BorysMadrawski]

It was during the war when Poles was already started being mass murdered in Nazi's/Deutschland's/3'rd Reaich's dead camps. I did use the word "Germany", because this name describes the ancient lands of western tribes, Poles belong to as well, or even more (looking at the genetic code and haplogroups of most of Poles), and names like Germanicus was the Roman name for the "Slavic"/Scythian, Easter and Western Goths tribes... modern Germany is a part of in ~50% of its population, an Poland in ~90% (still basing on the genetics).

[@BorysMadrawski]

I was born there. My mother with her mother and my father moved there after the war from more southern part of Poland. I think this city lost a lot when all the pre-war citizens have been forced to migrate to the west.

[@andreas7136]

Diese Aufnahmen sind vermutlich von vor 1940.

[@rickkatz2214]

The Nazi regime in Danzig murdered the Polish postmen defending the Polish Post Office: this was one of the first war crimes of World War 2. Polish soldiers in the Free State defending the Westerplatte stronghold, but surrendered after seven days of fighting. Danzig, for the duration of the war, remained under German control.

The beautiful city of Gdansk with its beautiful architecture was destroyed by the Soviet Red Army with massive artillery shelling, making a brutal artillery assault on the city. But it was possible to save this beautiful city of Gdansk by surrounding it and blockading it, and it could be saved just like Krakow, but the high command of the Soviet Red Army and the leadership of the USSR were in a great hurry to capture the cities located on the way to Berlin in order to capture Berlin before the western allied troops. The Soviet Marshal Zhukov did not spare his soldiers of the Soviet Red Army and the beautiful European cities, completely destroying them with massive artillery shelling, because of his ambition to be the first to capture Berlin, in order to prevent the Western Allied forces from capturing Berlin first and to forever remain in history as a great commander.

[@CrazyLeiFeng]

Notice the name on the store at 4:40. Georg Sawatzki. Is it a German last name? No! Before it was Germanized the family name was a typical Polish Zawadzki.

[@CrazyLeiFeng]

Not true. It was Prussian from 1793 to 1918 as a result of Partitions of Poland. Before that it had been Polish.

[@msciepura]

Buildings build when Gdansk was occupied by Prussia were destroyed in 1945 so everything you see was build by the poles.

[@CrazyLeiFeng]

It is important to remember that majority of "Germans" living east of Elba river had Slavic and Baltic ancestry. They had been Germanized over centuries as a result of the German imperialist aggression. The colonists from the West of Elba regions have always been a minority.

I was born and grew up in Gdańsk. The year of this movie (1940) can not be right. The Germans destroyed the most of the city on the 1st of September 1939 and they killed/terrorised the citizens. It must be made before the war. It seems more a propaganda film that during the de WWII the Poles could live and work completely undisturbed. It is historically untrue. .... and yes, as the rest of Poland, Gdańsk was a beautiful city. After the war the Poles reconstructed the old city without any help from the outside. It means without the Marshall support like the western Europe. Ik ben geboren en getogen in Gdańsk. Het jaartal van deze film (1940) kan op geen mogelijke wijze kloppen. Op 1 september 1939 hebben de Duitsers de meeste delen van Gdańsk gebombardeerd en de burgers gedood/geterroriseerd. Deze film is zeker voor de tweede wereldoorlog gemaakt. Het lijkt meer op een propaganda film dat tijdens die oorlog Polen totaal door de oorlog ongestoord konden leven en werken. Dit is historisch onwaar. ... en ja, net als heel Polen, Gdańsk was een prachtige stad. Na de oorlog helemaal (in elk geval de oude stad) gereconstrueerd, zonder enige hulp van buitenaf. Dus zonder de Marshall hulp, wil ik daarbij zeggen.
