    The city/fortress was German/Prussian pre 1919 when it became Polish. During the Napoleonic invasion in Prussia in 1806/07, the fortress was successfully defended by General Wilhelm René de l'Homme de Courbière against attacks by French troops.

    Here is a picture of German troops taking the city in September 1939:
