I'm seeking a description of differences between the German and Polish Jewish liturgies. The big one that I recently found out about (and that started me on this research path) is that the Germans say Sim Shalom and not Shalom Rav at Minchah if there's a Torah reading. I haven't stumbled on the right Google search terms, or maybe no one has created a web page explaining the differences (I doubt that!) but I figure someone here would either have better Google-fu (Fugle?) or would know or would know someone who knows.... Thanks!

But wouldn't Polish Jewish liturgies be divided by the part of Poland, sort of along the Litvak / Galitzianer lines?

I have some old (late 19th / early 20th century) siddurim from Lithuania if you think that might provide any insight.

And the German liturgies are also divided by where in Germany. But apparently the big divide is German/Poland, and Poland is what has become the American norm. Since I identify as a yekke, I want to better understand what words I'd be saying if my family were still following the German rite.

Thanks for the offer; right now I have a line on a German 19th-C siddur which a friend recommended as a starting point.
