Talk:Herbert Jankuhn

Untitled
"Jankuhn was born in East Prussia where his schoolteacher father was involved in local nationalist politics, publishing a pamphlet entitled Is There a Prussian Lithuania?"

The Jahnkuns were Prussian-Lithuanians themselves, a Lithuanian sub-ethnos in East-Prussia. The name derives from Lithuanian Jankunas. Although of the same blood, most of them rejected Russian-Lithuanian territorial claims after WWI and remained loyal to Prussia/Germany.
