and Breslau, of course...[]

It's only recently when looking through 19th-century publications for another website that I've started seeing "Breslau" much more often- as one finds out on Wikipedia, the city of Breslau in then Silesia (appropriately!...) , later Germany after Bismarckian unification, is now Wroclaw, Poland (apologies for omitting diacritical thingums.) A nice touch, anyway, I think! :) (Also the hometown of a major character in Harry Turtledove's new alternate WW2 series, as I recall, yes.) Eschiss1 (talk) 02:55, December 19, 2013 (UTC) (my own interest in Breslau is musical- a fairly major publisher or two used to hang their hat there (Julius Hainauer's company, e.g.) and at least one major composer was born near there :) (Sylvius Leopold Weiss, a lutenist of Bach's time))
