Stargard
editStargard is one of the few places not renamed during the Polish take-over in 1945, yet the former German epitaph "in Pommern" (="in Pomerania") was rendered to "Szczecinski" (=lit. "of Szczecin", i.e. in the Szczecin province). I propose to not have the epitaphs in the article, as it would be an undue mess to explain an epitaph's name changing here. I thus rendered "Stargard Szczecinski", which is incorrect since this was not the epitaph at the time he was born there, to "Stargard in the Prussian province of Pomerania", with Stargard Szczecinski piped to Stargard for dab and further reading purposes.
