Gdansk is the city where the first shot of World War II fired by Hitlers German forces from the Schleswig Holstein echoed around the world. The name was Danzig at the time and about 100000 residents perished in the battle between Germany and the Soviets who came to the rescue of Danzig in 1945. The ancient city nearly destroyed eventually fell under Polish rule and began to rise from the ashes with a new name Gdansk.
