When that happens, I'll post them on TWC. haha, well ive never lived in hessen, just where the family origin is, so i cant say with certainty but id estimate that west prussian would be considered german . where my mom is from there were a community of east prussians who settled after the war. to me, id say u guys are just as german as hessians. where my mom is from, is almost bavaria but not quite i look forward to the pictures. always wanted to make a poland trip myself
