Page "Grudziądz" Paragraph 8

In Grudziądz, German soldiers were stationed in the local fortress as part of the Germanization measures, and the authorities placed soldiers with the most chauvinistic attitude towards the Poles there.

The German government brought in more stationed military, merchants and state officials to influence population figures, and in the 1910 census 84 % of the population of the town and 58 % of the county was recorded as German.
