Interesting fact: In Wroclaw titles awarded an honorary citizen of the city since 1872. Among the honored were Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister of the Third Reich Marshal Hermann Goering and. To till this day, no one has canceled these titles.

According to the lawyer, the Polish authorities are not the heirs of the Third Reich. The titles given by former German government do not apply in Poland. There is no need rescinding the honorary citizenship of Polish cities for such criminals like Hitler, for they have long since lost it.
