What was it like to live here?

Slaughterhouse

>>18630393
>General Gouvernment
Terrible.
>Wartheland
Would suck but slightly less if you are a german settler. Not as horrible as the GG.
>Danzig-West Prussia
The least shit of the new territories to live in but the difference is pretty relative.
>Bialystok
I don't have the faintest fucking idea.

Note: Potential QoL changes substantially depending on whether you are a Jew, a Pole, or German. None are exceptionally high though.

My great great aunt lived in Konigsberg until 1945 when the Russians came. She died about eight years ago.
She said it was actually nice, but starting in the mid 30's there was an air of nervousness about everything given how close they were to Russia.
Always identified as Prussian.

Why didn't she go back in 1991?

Not him, but also the grandson of Prussian emigres
Basically
>There's fucking nothing left there, city was in ruins and Russians purposefully did not rebuild it as it was
>Kaliningrad is a strictly guarded military city even within Russia's own standards, very annoying bureaucracy to even visit as a foreigner.
Basically there's nothing to go back to and also they're not allowed to go back.

It wasn't the same city anymore in her mind, so yeah what the other guy said. Russians terrorized her and killed many of her neighbors and friends so she wasn't keen on the idea
