Soldau Railway Junction

Soldau was an important railway junction during the time of the KPEV ( Prussian State Railways ) up to November 1918. The main line from Warsaw to Danzig and Grosslershausen - Strasburg - Soldau single line, in addition to branch line to East Prussian town of Niedenburg served Soldau. It was located 148.227 km from Warsaw. The Warsaw - Danzig main line was ( and is still ) double track railway. All Warsaw - Gdansk important express trains run through Soldau. During the World War Two 1939 - 1945 Soldau locomotive depot housed locomotives of Deutsche Reichsbahn ( DRB ) classes 03, ( Express trains ) 24, 37.0, ( Passenger trains ) 50, 57.10, ( Freight trains ) and 92.5. ( Shunting service ). These locomotives were offically allocated to Bw ( MPD ) Deutsch Eylau and Lokbahnhof Freystadt, Lokbahnfow Löbau and Bw Illowo. About 400 German locomotive drivers and depot personel worked in RMA Soldau. My last visit there in 2001. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.118.82 (talk) 18:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

WW I

The only reason why Dzialdowo became part of Poland after WWI without participating the plebiscite in southern East Prussia was the direct railway line between Warsaw and Gdansk. It was important to prevent any german access on that connection. The reason was not any kind of polish majority at Dzialdowo at that time. (149.225.55.241 (talk) 15:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC))

Antoni Chrusciel

Antoni Chrusciel was imprisoned at the Dzialdowo POW – camp for 6 weeks in september/ october 1939. I could´nt find any other relation between him and the town Dzialdowo. Does this make him a “notable resident”?(62.180.160.59 (talk) 08:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC))

Not particularly. I'll remove him from the list. Olessi (talk) 22:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

German hoax

The candidate of the German Party was elected to the Sejm with 74,6 % of votes on May 2, 1920.

This was put as data by some anon. Poor hoax attempt. There were no elections to Sejm on May 2 1920.In fact there were no elections in that year.Elections were in 1919, 1922, 1928...--Molobo (talk) 21:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

My Polish isn´t that good, but Polish Misplaced Pages seems to say something like that ], so who is hoaxing? (62.134.88.217 (talk) 07:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC))

No source in linked article. Plenty of sources showing that they were no elections in 1920. --Molobo (talk) 11:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

The town wasn´t part of Poland when the first Sejm was elected in 1919, that´s why byelections were organized in May 1920. Kossert is a reliable source and even the Polish Misplaced Pages says that Barczewki was elected in May 1920. There´s no hoax story about that,even if it´s more than you can imagine.(62.134.88.44 (talk) 14:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC))
