Hi Bonnie,

the Preussische Provinz Westpreussen (Prussian Province of West Prussia)
*was* a German territory, but it isn't German anymore. Today it belongs to
Poland and covered the area between former Pommern (Pomerania) and
Ostpreussen (East Prussia).

You may want to have a look at some *historical* maps, available on various
sites on the web or in historical atlases in public libraries.
