Subject:Where is Poznan?

Hi Volks,

I recently received a letter from VW A.G. with the build date and location of my newest Double-Cab.
The letter states that the model is "247GC5" .
I know 247 is a Double-Cab but what is this "CG5" on the end?
The letter goes on to state that the vehicle was built on the 28th of November 1985 in Poznan.
Where is Poznan? 
I have never herd of that assembly plant. 
I thought all Syncro T3's were built in Gaz Austria?
According to the letter my new Double-Cab was originally sold to the U.S.-Army on the 14 of April 1986.
Can any one shed some light on this little mystery for me?

Also for those of you that are interested the e-mail address for the VW corporate archives section is 
mailto:unternehmenserchiv@volkswagen.de

Thanks
Glen Cook
