  7. ↑ Mlietsch was in Kreis Reichenbach (roughly
    translated as ``District of Realmbrook).
    About 1936, Mlietsch, Lohetal, was renamed from
    the German to Mleczna (Polish). The town's population
    in 1939 was 162 people.
  8. ↑ In short, Silesia was annexed by Prussia in the 1840s and
    became Poland after the First World War. In fact, most of Silesia
    was conquered by King Friedrich II of Prussia in the
    three Silesian wars from Austria (1740-1763),
    the third war being the Seven-Years-War (1756-1763).
    After World War 1, Silesia lost some areas to Poland and
    Czechoslovakia. It was cleansed of its ethnic
    German population and given to Poland in 1945.
    Breslau has since been renamed Wroclaw.
