peer agreement (net): +1Pabianice Explanation: As you will have seen the name Pabianitz was used only between 1939-1940, ie during WWII. If you want to be very precise and if a German person in in question, you can include this information in a footnote. The situation is the same as if you wanted to write he was born in, say, Warschau (Warsaw or Polish Warszawa). During the second world war the city was called Warschau. Would you then write he was born in Warschau, knowing it was during occupation period? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2011-02-10 12:49:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I was wrong, during the 1939-1940, it was called Burgstadt, it was renamed Pabianitz towards the end of the war... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2011-02-10 13:33:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabianice -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2011-02-10 13:35:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/437423/Pabianice |
