And now it is more possible. German living in Poland.. sounds OK. But judging of the landscape and quality of the road in the background, also by the fence, still having doubts. The appearance of the polish land in that time was really a little bit different I would say.. However the title is the title.

Very much so, as the following shows a chunk of Germany and Prussia were given to Poland at the end of WW1. This resulted in a fairly large german speaking population being within the borders of Poland.

Creation of Poland[edit]

White and green stripes indicate the farthest the Russians were able to advance and the farthest the Poles were able to attack in Russia during the Polish–Soviet War. Blue and white stripes indicate fighting with the West Ukrainian People's Republic
In the aftermath of World War I, the Polish people broke out in the Greater Poland Uprising on December 27, 1918, in Poznań after a patriotic speech by Ignacy Paderewski, a famous Polish pianist. The fighting continued until June 28, 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which recreated the nation of Poland. From the defeated German Empire, Poland received the following:

• Most of the Prussian province of Posen was granted to Poland. This territory had already been taken over by local Polish insurgents during the Great Poland Uprising of 1918–1919.[65]
• 70% of West Prussia was given to Poland to provide free access to the sea, along with a 10% German minority, creating the Polish corridor.[7]
• The east part of Upper Silesia was awarded to Poland after a plebiscite. Sixty percent of residents voted for German citizenship, and 40 percent for Poland; as a result the area was divided.[7]
• To provide a Polish railway line connecting Gdańsk and Warsaw, the area of Działdowo (Soldau) in East Prussia was granted to the new Polish state.[66]
• From the eastern part of West Prussia and the southern part of East Prussia in the provinces of Warmia and Masuria, a small area was granted to Poland.[67]

The Vickers 6 ton tank was a base for the Polish 7TP light tank. Also Russians used that for their T-26.

The Polish 7TP tank was the main tank of the Polish Army during the September Campaign 1939.
