Czytam książkę "Łuny nad Jeziorami" Leszka Adamczewskiego traktuje o zagładzie Prus Wschodnich. Jest to naprawdę cenne że można taka lekturę uzupełnić o film,zdjęcia z okresu z przed 2WW.Dzięki za stworzenie "Elegii o Królewcu"

I've been fascinated by Konigsberg for some time. I saw a picture of it a few years ago and wondered why I couldn't find it on the map. Then I compared old maps with new and saw the name Kaliningrad on the map where Konigsberg should have been. Since then I've been trying to find out more about this lost gem. This is a lovely little film, beautifully presented. The innocent always suffer for the guilty in war. There are no real winners.

4TuLLHEAD, Why do you have a special interest in this city? Lovely Elegy. Are the photos from the 1930s?

Well, maybe one day USA and GB will be punished in the same way for the criminal aggression against Irak in 2003. And when their cities will lay in rubbles, someone smart like you will come and say to the survivors: "Thank Bush & Blair for their destruction!"

Königsberg, allein der Name klingt geheimnisvoll... da kann man verstehen, die Russen wollen den "Kaliningrad" nicht mehr...

A whole high civilisation and way of life was utterly destroyed and has never recovered. The character and quality of the Prussian people was particularly hated by the forces that sought Germany's destruction so that the state of Prussia was totally erased with maximum brutality. Thanks jews!
