Why did Poland get Szczecin/Stettin if it's West of the Oder?

[Peterski]

It would be like criticizing within a bank robbery that a particular bill is stolen.

It's anyhow all a crime.

During WW2 Germany both committed and intended to commit terrible crimes to the Poles and Poland.

That included the "Generalplan Ost" which was an intended crime aimed at destroying the Poles completely.

Why do you think that losing the Ostgebiete was a crime, rather than an adequate punishment for earlier German crimes?

And if you think that losing the Ostgebiete was not an adequate punishment, then what alternative punishment do you suggest?

Do you think that the Germans did not deserve to be punished for the crimes they committed and intended to commit in WW2?

[Peterski]

To the best of my knowledge both the center and the port are west of it, but I might be wrong. Besides, if they were East of it, wouldn't it have been even easier to give only the Eastern portion to Poland, as it would give it access to the mouth of the river and follow the Oder-Neissen/Odra-Nysa line neatly?

I found this article about it:

and the other part is native Prussian German who assimilated into Poles

This is not visible in your genetic results because you score like a typical Polish person.

Maybe your Prussian ancestors were not German but Polish (for example Masurians)?

The Prussian family parts themselves where already mixed with Poles and probably were already half Slavic half Germanic so there isn’t much left for me anymore. While my Kresy ancestors (which make 3/4 of me) had almost 0% Germanic similar to Belarusians.

But how exactly do you know that your Prussian ancestors were Germans?

I am 100% Prussian Pole for example (from the former Prussian partition of Poland) and you can find my results in various threads.

I know it from a granddad and I am not a 100% Prussian pole but only partly. The big majority of my family is ethnic Polish. And also my MH matches confirm it.

Why are you Protestant? From which part of Prussia were your ancestors, from East Prussia?

Being descended from Masurian Poles from East Prussia would explain your Protestant faith.

The big majority of my family is ethnic Polish from Kresy.

What % is from Kresy? BTW being from Kresy does not always indicate Belarusian-like results.

Here is a Pole from Lwow with very western-shifted results:

I also have Masurian Protestant heritage from 4 generations ago who later immigrated to Pomerania and mixed with some Germans. And also I have additionally some family who converted to Protestantism (note, I was born a Protestant, I talk about grandparents) because they didn’t like the rules in Catholic Church. And I’m thankful they did it.

Were you born in Poland or already in Germany?
