History
Tuchlino was a private village of the Tuchliński noble family of Kownia coat of arms, administratively located in the Mirachowo County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, some Poles from Tuchlino were among the victims of a massacre committed by the Germans in nearby Kaliska as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] In 1942, the German police carried out expulsions of Poles, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4] Expelled Poles were deported to the Potulice concentration camp, and eventually enslaved as forced labour and sent either to Germany or to German colonists in the region.[4]
