Where this word comes from
Named after Prussian general and later Nazi Party member Karl Litzmann. The name was chosen because Litzmann, in November 1914 during World War I, had conducted an important counteroffensive against the Russian army near Brzeziny, a few kilometers to the east of Lodz. His name’s phonetic similarity to that of the city might also have played a role.
