Franzisca Schanzkowska's nationality.

Franzisca Schanzkowska was not a Polish factory worker, she was a German farm girl from Hygendorf in Pomerania. See the new book "Almost Anastasia" where Felix Schanzkowsky's daughter Waltraud clearly states that "we were German, not Polish". 24.171.139.101 (talk) 18:24, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Suggest you check back on the history section of this article. At least four references state she was Polish. David J Johnson (talk) 23:57, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

No need to check anywhere. She was born in Pomerania which was a part of Prussia. From her written Anmeldung from 1919, her nationality is clearly stated as Preussen (Prussia). She had a German passport. 24.171.139.101 (talk) 19:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The problem is how to balance one source that says Waltraud was German against four that say Schanzkowska was Polish, including Anderson's own autobiography. DrKay (talk) 19:18, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

When one is born in Germany, one is German! There is no and, if or but about that. See the German version of Misplaced Pages. They got it right.24.171.139.101 (talk) 01:02, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I am not convinced that John McEnroe is German. The article says she was born in the German Empire, spoke German and lived in Germany to a great extent. This seems to adequately cover the German aspect. I looked at the German wikipedia; it looks no different to the coverage here. DrKay (talk) 08:32, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

What does John McEnroe have to do with Anna Anderson? The German Misplaced Pages states that she was a farmgirl from Pomerania in West Prussia. Not a word about Polish, and why should there be? The woman was born in PRUSSIA, which makes her German. Nothing else. That snobbery labeled her a Polish factory worker, is another thing. She was a German girl from the province of Pomerania who worked as a waitress, a farm laborer, a maid and a factory employee. In short, she was a German girl from the working class. NOT a Polish factory worker.24.171.139.101 (talk) 19:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
