Fact check: The City Danzig was called Gdansk for much longer than it was called Danzig. The first naming of the city is over a thousand years ago and recorded as Gyddannyzc. It was later Prussian invaders that renamed it after the second partition of Poland. Most people who insist on still calling it Danzig now in my experience are Nazis, just like when the original Nazis annexed it after the treaty of Versailles returned it to Poland.

1. Summary of the results

1. Summary of the results:

The city's original Slavic name "Gyddanyzc" was first recorded in 999, predating the German name "Danzig." The city underwent multiple name changes throughout its history, reflecting its complex political status under various rulers. After World War II, it was officially renamed to Gdańsk when it became part of Poland.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints:

• The name evolution was more complex than simple "invasion renaming" - the German name "Danzig" emerged gradually during the 13th century through natural linguistic evolution
• The city had significant German population and culture for centuries, not just during Nazi occupation
• Multiple ethnic groups contributed to the city's development: Polish, German, Dutch, Jewish, and Kashubian communities
• The city held special "Free City" status between World Wars I and II, recognized by the League of Nations, making its political status more complex than simply "Polish" or "German"

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement:

• The statement oversimplifies the complex linguistic evolution by attributing the name "Danzig" solely to "Prussian invaders"
• The claim about current usage of "Danzig" being associated with Nazi sympathizers is an unsupported personal observation that ignores legitimate historical and cultural contexts
• The statement presents a binary Polish-German conflict narrative, overlooking the multicultural nature of the city's history
• It omits that "Danzig" remains the historical English name for the city during certain periods, used in academic and historical contexts without political connotations
