False.

Prussia was not declared defunct by the Axis powers at the conclusion of World War II. After the war, the Allied powers, particularly the Soviet Union, played a role in dismantling the German state of Prussia. The Potsdam Agreement in 1945 led to the de facto dissolution of Prussia, and its territory was divided among Poland and the Soviet Union. The formal abolition of Prussia as a state entity occurred in 1947 with the issuance of the "Law on the Abolition of the State of Prussia" by the Allied Control Council.
