The Donauschwaben are a people from an entire region. After WW1 they were called German-Hungarians and after WW2 they were the Danube Swabians but in both cases they involved many more people then the residents of just one city. If I recall correctly Elbing had about 75,000 residents until the population swelled late in the war. It's like the population of a province or state vs that of one city. Big difference. Fred
