Another clue: I have said before - the new name has not stuck. Now I am adding - the new name has not survived even before the WWII has ended(you can surmise from that that the victors didn't like it | |

| Centurion | In 1922 Łódź became the capital of the Łódź Voivodeship, The city received the new name of Litzmannstadt in WW2 after the German general Karl Litzmann, who captured the city during World War I. Nevertheless, many Łódź Germans refused to sign Volksliste and become Volksdeutsche, The name was changed back to Łódź A few other guesses Braşov → Oraşul Stalin → Braşov Zabrze → Hindenburg → Zabrze Shenyang → Shengjiang → Fengtianfu → Mukden → Fengtian → Shenyang

| Optio | Lviv was Lemberg Guess its not because of your clue. Was it part of Poland or Germany before WW2? Last edited by Reiben; September 2nd, 2006 at 12:09. |

OK, the next clue: If we imagine(just for a moment!!!) that GWB has suggested in 2003 to the British to rename city of Basra after Tony Blair and take the S. Iraq into British possession(making the new "Blair-city" a capital of it)... then it will be very similar to the situation during WWII with my home city.... | |

Ask yourself some simple questions, like: 1. who can create a new province and rename cities in the middle of the World War? More probable, it would be the invaders, right? 2. The name has not stuck(my first hint!), so, logically, it would be the Axis powers, who renamed the city...Because, they lost and whatewer changes they have made, they have been unmade by the UN countries This sets up pretty much the geographical scene, knowing that Riussian is my native language 3. And the last hint I have made (about Basra) should give you a very narrow set of options on who(what countries) could have made these changes. BTW, my next question will be on what city I have gone to college... | |
