Happy birthday Mr. Kant!
Should we change his birthplace? According to this article he was born near Danzig (now Gdańsk, Pomorskie, Poland). He could be the oldest known living man born in Poland.

Back when he was born, it was still Germany. By your logic, Augusta Holtz should also be considered a Polish SC.

Exactly, Futurist. Good job, but there is no need to answer any deliberate provocation or bullshit.

What?
Did I say that he is the oldest Pole? NO. I said he was the oldest man born in Poland. And I only suggested that we draw attention to his place of birth and not make him a Pole
Following your logic: for example Luise Pompe was born in Ukraine, but according for you we should consider it an unimportant fact. Tekla Juniewicz was born in Ukraine, but for you that doesn't matter either.
These are facts, regardless of their ethnicity. therefore, it cannot be said that they were born in their country. What don't you understand?
If you want to cover up some facts, say so right away and don't call me a troll.

@shippingforshiping2312 If we want to be precise, even regardless of ethnicity, no, Bruno Kant was not born in Poland and Luise Pompe was not born in Ukraine. They were born in what is now in Poland and what is now in Ukraine, respectively. There's a big difference. Still, to make our lives easier, avoid disputes (not going well, appearently) and be more systematic, we use the country codes of present-day countries, so "POL/GER" and "UKR/AUT" – but they were, in fact, born in the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, respectively.
Congratulations to Bruno Kant on the occasion of his 109th birthday!
