Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia
The
Reichsgau
Danzig
-West Prussia
was a
Nazi German
province created on 8 October 1939 from annexed territory of the
Free City of Danzig
, the
Greater Pomeranian Voivodship
(
Polish Corridor
), and the
Regierungsbezirk West Prussia
of
Gau
East Prussia
. Before 2 November 1939, the Reichsgau was called
Reichsgau West Prussia
. Though the name resembled the pre-1920
Prussian province
of
West Prussia
, the territory was not identical. In contrast to the former Prussian province, the
Reichsgau
comprised the Bromberg (
Bydgoszcz
) region in the South and lacked the
Deutsch-Krone
(
Walcz
) region in the West.
