MAP OF AIRFIELD RADOM-SADKÓW

I think control tower from Your photo is the same as here but another side of view:
http://www.poszukiwanieskarbow.com/a...dkow%20Twr.jpg
There is Polish text:
"...Wieża radomskiego lotniska została ponoć wybudowana przez Niemców. ..."
"...Control tower was probably made by German ..." ---
(rebuild as they get airfield later ???)
Compare hight of control tower from right side on the picture:

But I am not 100% sure.

Look this photo :
http://weltkrieg2.de/Geschichte/Krie...ring-px800.jpg
with text in German:
"...

Photo/Bild: Der Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe, Hermann Göring, zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Rang eines Generalfeldmarschalls, gratuliert den Männern des I/StG77 in Radom (Polen) im September 1939 für ihre erfolgreichen Kampfeinsätze während der ersten Phase des Polen feldzuges. Andere höhere Luftwaffenbefehlshaber im Bildvordergrund sind: zweiter von links nach Göring, Generalmajor Wolfram von Richthofen, Kommandeur des Fliegerkorps zu welchem der Stuka-Verband gehört, vierter von links, Generalobert Erhard Milch als Generalinspektor der Luftwaffe und fünfter von links, Generalleutnat Hans Jeschonnek als Chef des Stabes der Luftwaffe. ..."

So I think could be RADOM-SADKÓW (it is still the same Polish name)
germ.: BRESLAU = pol. WROCŁAW (this is another part of Poland)
