Pinsk in Worldwar[]
Pinsk was a city on the eastern frontier of Race-controlled Poland. During the Race-German War of 1965, the German Reich avoided sending an atomic bomb to Pinsk, as it was close to the territory of the Soviet Union, whom the Reich hope to court as an ally against the Race. Thus, Pinsk was the most significant Polish city to survive the war, and became the provisional Polish capital afterwards.
