<div id="ygrps-yiv-991174441">I just came in to report on a subject previously addressed here that<br/>
was left un-ended.  Those of you who remember Wolfgang Schaub might be<br/>
happy to hear he never let loose on the topic and secured and<br/>
translated the polish text of the treaty between CZ and PL on the<br/>
harbor lease.  It lasted only about 12 years from 1947, after which<br/>
the Czechs abandoned it.  The area was comprised of a particular dock<br/>
and adjacent land in the duty free portion of the harbor, and the<br/>
treaty contained provisions allowing the Czechs to further occupy a<br/>
separate exclave a short distance from the main portion.   The treaty<br/>
actually states that the area would be called (from Polish to German<br/>
to half English), Czechoslavakian &quot;Gebiet&quot;(a word discused here<br/>
earlier, too) in the Customs Excluded Territory of Stettin Harbor (or<br/>
similar).  <br/>
<br/>
A news article from the time, which he also found and translated,<br/>
reveals that Czechoslovakia never was able to secure the rights in<br/>
Stettin from the Germans that were accorded to it in the Versailles<br/>
Treaty after World War I.  <br/>
