I always wonder how different Europe would have been if the war had never occurred.

In Danzig bin ich 1940 geboren ,auf der Karthäuser Straße .Danke für diese Aufnahmen

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.

"Piękny film" - wszyscy polacy już rozsztrzelani.Tysiące ofiar w latach 1939-1940. Kontekst tego filmu jest straszliwy. "Ein schöner Film" - alle Polen sind bereits explodiert. Tausende Opfer in den Jahren 1939-1940. Der Kontext dieses Films ist schrecklich.

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.

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.

piekna kobieta🥰urudzila sie mniej wiecej w roku1920❤

Die Stadt in der mein Opa geboren wurde so zu sehen, wie er sie als Kind gesehen hat, bevor seine Familie flüchten musste, berührt mich sehr.

Beautiful old film, very interesting..

Piękny film . Bardzo dziękuję za udostępnienie.

My city Gdansk left at age 12 to USA 27 years a go Love my Neighbourhood Wrzeszcz

My great-grandfather Hugo Bail was the mayor of Gdansk and of course it's a pity that Germany lost this city. But our polish friends did a good job of rebuilding Gdansk. We don't mourn the past, because no country in the world is worth dying for.

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

I lived there in 1940 for one year

Gdańsk - miasto zatrzymane w czasie. Minęło prawie 90 lat i nadal wygląda tak jak dawniej czego nie moge powiedziec o moim osiedlu. Za kazdym razem jak odwiedzam rodzine to nie poznaję mojego osiedla i czuje sie zagubiona ale gdy zjade do Gdańska i przechadzam sie Długa i kolo Motławy to sie odnajduję.

Bardzo ciekawy film. Spokój i nastrój, trudno uwierzyć, że jest wojna.

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.

Tolle Aufnahmen einer sehr schönen Stadt 😘

Teraz Gdańsk jest ładniejszy. ...i nie ma w nim hitlerowców.

Kobiety poubierane w spódnice i sukienki, pięknie.

Mein Vater und meine Grosseltern lebten in Danzig-Langfuhr bis zum Ende des Krieges. Möchte es gerne einmal besuchen.

Coś niesamowitego. Lato 1940 i ta piękna kobieta, zatrzymane w kadrze. A w tle GDAŃSK.

A beautiful town, part of the Baltic culture. It is all so sad.

Let's not forget that the Polish and Jewish residents who had lived there for hundreds of years were forcibly evicted.

Mein Vater war dort geboren - Werde die Stadt im Sommer 2020 besuchen mit meiner Familie.

My family lived here for 100 of years. Danke for showing.

Main building of Technical University, I studied there, so many memories. I only realised it saw war time.

Gdańsk kojarzy mi się bardzo pozytywnie. W Gdańsku współpracuję z przedsiębiorcą Polzen, jestem zadowolona. Poza tym miasto jest piękne.

* Piękne miasto- wszyscy trzymają fason *

Gruss aus Danzig -Langfuhr [*] kastanienweg 18/Lendziona 18

Podobnymi tramwajami poruszałem się na trasie N.Port - Gdańsk. pamiętam dewastowane cmentarze niemieckich zmarłych pochowanych w N. Porcie

Schöne Frau ! Vielleicht lebt sie noch... 100 ?

Super Gdańsk na tym filmie z ta muzyką prawie magiczny jest

das buch 'danzig' von dem historiker fischer ... lesenswert ! ... eine literarische reise durch die jahrhunderte und leiden dieser einzigartigen europäischen metropole ...

Piękny naprawde film, na tym filmiku zapewne widać ludzi,których większości z nich zostało rozstrzelonych. 1940 w panuje taki nastroj spokój , aż trudno jest uwierzyć w to, że trwa wojna. Gdańsk - miasto zatrzymane w czasie.

jaki kunszt architektura porządek pięknie

And five years later all these people would lose their homes, jobs and businesses.

wow, love Gdańsk

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.

Gdańsk is the Polish ! Germany can only dream(!) about our beautiful Gdańsk!

niesamowite!

Elfriede wohnte zu dieser Zeit anscheinend im Mirchauer Weg 27. Konnte ich anhand des Schildes von Albert Pröhl, Schneidermeister, herausfinden.

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.

Почему в хрониках до 39 года в Гданьске на каждом шагу нацистские флаги, а здесь не видно ни одного? Как-то странно.

Dieser Scheißkrieg

Wonderfull, more more Gdańska! please

I lived there during world war 2, if you focus on the people in the train ,I was one of them

I saw a beautifull blondie woman!!!

My Great Grandfather was born in Danzig in 1864. His name is Rudolf Mundt. Does anyone know how I could find out more information about him here in Danzig/Gdansk? I know that he was a ship rigger. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Ich bin beeindruckt von den historisch wertvollen Bildern. Vielen Dank für die Veröffentlichung ... mit einem nostalgischen Track aus der Musik von Frédéric Chopin (glaube ich).

And in 5 years it will be ruined to the ground.

Ekstra film 👍 a tramwaj super gdybym ja mógłbym znaleźć taki materiał z Gdańska Osowej z 1993 do 95 okolice wiaduktu kolejowego

total love

Hope those pretty ladies never met the Red Army.

ale klimat :) jakie dziwne to ze tam gdzie bylo kamerowane sa teraz sklepy z pamiatkami, parasole gdzie ludzie pija piwo w wakacje i stoiska ze sprzedazą wszystkiego

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).

A good film from the Free City of Danzig , so many beautiful german women lived there in 1940.

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.

The Music ist venetian boatsong in F# minor by Mendelssohn bartholdy from Song without words. And i wonder,If the Woman is perhaps a Widow ,because she is clothed in black. Maybe her husband died in the war.

Wspaniały film... tylko czemu mają służyć te wielkie woły w lewym dolnym rogu?!

Gdańsk był Polski jest i będzie. Żaden z Niemickiego główna nie zdoła nam gogle odebrać

Polska - 966 Gdańsk - 997 niemcy - 1871

Great cultural German city! Schopenhauer was born here, one of the most famous German philosophers.His mother Johanna maintained a lounge in which the most famous writers and artists from entire Germany go in and out. Even Goethe was here.

Teraz mamy tam Sobieskiego na koniu i dwa miasta w jednym GDANSK I LWOW .

Danzig Langfuhr👌

Piękny film.

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.

Für immer verloren.

Is vodka Danzka from Gdańsk?

Poland took Christianity in 966, the borders of Poland then and now are very similar except the Prussia araea. The whole area from Szczecin to Gdansk belonged to Poland.

WOW!!!

Für ein gemeinsames Danzig

GDYNIA - SOPOT-GDANSK /GDINGEN-ZOPOT-DANZIG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

Did this couple survive the war? Any information about their identity?

This I guess, a German cameraman, had his sharp eyeoriented mostly on sexy young chicks in Gdansk !!!! Good for him :o)) It is so easily recognizable for me, by his specific camera movement !!!

I komu to przeszkadzało... ?

.....und eine schöne frau

💜

Moje Miasto GDANSK !!!!!!

Diese Aufnahmen sind vermutlich von vor 1940.

Film SUPER , ale muza dla mnie kanał !

Niegdyś Gdański był Niemieckim miastem tak jak Lwów był Polskim.

Gdańsk is Danzig

Danzig was an old german city! Its now lost by history!

Beautiful old 🎥 ❤🇩🇪👍
