After 1945 eastern part of Pomerania according to agreement signed in Potsdam in 1945 by United Kingdom, United States of America and Soviet Union was given under the administration of Poland. The final shape of Polish-German border according to this agreement should be established by peace treaty. However all allies agreed that a part of Germany will be transfered to Poland, as a kind of recompensation for crimes committed by Germany on Poland during World War II - about 20 % of Polish citizens was killed during German occupation of Poland, many of them were murdered in concentration camps (including women and infants), German troops and administration has commited a lot of other war crimes on Poland. The peace treaty has never been signed, but Willy Brandt and Helmut Kohl signed bilateral agreements with Poland according to which Germany has no claims to eastern part of Pomerania - thus this region is now unquestionably a part of the Republic of Poland.
The western part of Pomerania is part of the German Bundesland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern .
