Kitchener Ontario used to be know as Berlin or New Berlin [[memory is fading).... and then the unpleasantries of world wars got in the way... but then the same thing happened with England's House of Windsor royal family [[used to be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha until 1917).

I bet there must have been some USA town name changes during the 2 World Wars?? But then again we still have Germantown PA... don't we??
