What is origin of “Germans”?
Königsberg soon became the capital of their state and is believed to be the beginning of what evolved into the Greater German state.
Following WWII Stalin ordered the removal of all people of German descent from Königsberg and forcibly repopulated the area with Russian Slavs as his way of forever denying Germany the place of its historical roots.
Stalin renamed the area Kaliningrad and it remains a part of the Russian Federation although it does not touch any part of Russia.

Started with someone posting a picture of a newspaper clipping announcing the start of WWII in response to something being old news, and then that morphed into a reference to animal house when Belushi said that the germans bombed pearl harbor. This is how it's been explained to me.
