Recommended Posts

The first map shows the German Empire with all it's states in the borders as of August 1914

The second map shows the territorial losses as of 1918/20. New states are formed in Europe, Poland, Tschechoslowakia and the Baltic States. The Austrian Empire also broke up with the loss of Südtirol, Bosnia-Herzegovinia, the Karpathians and Slowenia. Hungary became a separate monarchist state with Admiral Horthy as a Regent.

The third map shows the territorial losses as of 1945/46. Not shown here are the losses East of the Oder-Neisse Line and the inclusion of East Prussia into Russia and Poland. Millions were expelled by force from these territories

Martyrium of Albrecht of Prag at the hands of the heathen Pruzzen in 997 A.D., a similar fate was met by his successor, Bruno von Querfurth in 1009 A.D., 12th C., bronze-relief on the church door of Gnesen / Gniezno.

Die Missionierung der Prußen begann im Jahre 997, als der böhmische Bischof Adalbert von Prag, unterstützt vom polnischen Fürsten Boleslaw I., bei den Prußen missionierte, wobei er das Martyrium erlitt. Ein ähnliches Schicksal erlitt sein Nachfolger Brun von Querfurt im Jahre 1009.
