Chris,


Częstochowa is in southern Poland on the Warta River.

Blachownia is on the western outskirts.


Liga Obrony Powietrznej i Przeciwgazowej is described as a Polish paramilitary organization established in 1928 as a result of the merger of the State Air Defense League founded in 1923 and the Gas Defense Society founded in 1922.

It was aimed at promoting sports, communication and military aviation. It operated until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.


In the interests of others who may be reading, the w in Polish is pronounced as v. The w as in what appears as a lower case L with a short, angled line going through it. There is no x in Polish, so Alexander is spelled Aleksander.


In order to facilitate spelling Polish characters, I recommend Polish typeit, which can be found using any search engine. Just select the non-English character and drop it in as you type.
