they were only german for a short time during war, they were built first as polish cities and were polish for most of the time and so they are now.
For Poznan, true.
Danzig was german 1871-1920, then a "free city" 1920-1939
Not quite so true for Breslau, a german city 1871-1945
In 1945 population was 80% german who were expelled/resettled 1945-49
Given to Poland at Potsdam Conference as the Soviet Union was not going to give back annexed
former eastern Poland.
