Stettin was German until
April 26, 1945 when the Soviet Red Army seized the city. Many of the
city's inhabitants fled and it was virtually deserted after its
capture. In the following
month the city was handed over to Polish administration three
times, eventually permanently on July 5, 1945. In the mean time,
part of the 1939 German population of 380,000 had returned, as it was unclear if
the city would be awarded to Poland, or be in the Soviet occupation
zone in Germany. Stettin is located mostly west of Oder-Neisse
line, which was to be Poland's new border according to Potsdam
Conference. However, most of Pomerania, including all of Stettin
and the mouth of the Oder River, was eventually given to Poland and the German population was expelled. The German Stettin is gone forever.
