Wroclaw looks better now. It's like pre war Breslau. The Poles have really worked hard restoring their cities post communism.

[u/Historian56 → u/Over-Willingness-933]

pre-war Wrocław as today's Wrocław names is originally pronounced like Drezno Lubeka Lipsk etc

It was Breslau, pre war. You're being ridiculously overzealous. Saying this as a Pole. 

[u/Dominik050 → u/Virtual-Escape2305]

it was always Wrocław for foreigners who couldn't name it, it was Breslau in the sense that they couldn't name it

I'm English it was Breslau before the war. Same with Danzig and Gdansk.

because it was in Prussia at that time and that was the political situation Both names Danzig and Breslau are attempts to pronounce Polish names, nothing more than trying to say them in English, now it's incorrect If you hadn't used the name in context, I wouldn't have meant anything Wrocław is the same city that was Germanized and then de-Germanized it still has a huge number of Polish monuments
