Good idea. They could have had their capital at Oswiecim in Silesia, and a holiday resort at Stutthof in Pomerania. Somebody got my pitch black joke.

Come to think of it, a homeopath (Drumpf) isn't likely to make you well, but he's also unlikely to make you any worse off. If you have a malignant cancer, a homeopath will likely kill you.
