Ok, so, basic "Germany wins WW2"-scenario. How victory was achieved and when is unimportant here. What is important is that Germany now has 2 000 000+ km2 of new land filled with cities having Slavic names. Going with the nazi policies I dont think they would keep city names such as Nikolajew, Stalingrad etc. for obvious reasons :)

So what would these cities be named? Would they be Germanized, translated or just renamed after some famous person fitting the Nazi criterias?

Heres the list Ive come up with so far, it is incomplete and probably has a lot of errors, so please, help me out here :eek:

(note, these are the more important cities such as the administrative centers of the Generalbezirke, major transport hubs/coastal cities)

Starting from the west:
Bialystok - ?
