Little puzzle about my country

I just spend about 60 minutes trying to solve Q3. I tried even adding model or serial number of this weapon (unfortunately wrong one - the one belonging to Mjr. Sucharski, not the one belonging to Kpt. Dąbrowski - because Sucharski was allowed to keep Dąbrowski's weapon, I don't know what was the serial number of Kpt. Dąbrowski's Sabre, Mjr. Sucharski was issued with a Sabre wz. 34, serial number most likelly 24491 or 32491 - sources which I have are access to are not certain about it either, so don't quote me on that. Kpt. Dąbrowski probably wasn't issued with any Sabre, most probably he was using one that he bought by himself, or maybe it was a modified wz. 21 - again I'm not sure about it. It was most probably custom made one, possibly Kosciuszkowska, with additional decorations. Most likely that's why the Germans thought that this is the one which belonged to the commander of the outpost - it was the best looking one. It is also possible that they knew that was the wrong one - but they didn't care) I have no idea what do you want to add to this name.

All others questions took me about 5 minutes. I liked this quiz, so than you for that.

A na przyszłość chyba warto by było wspomnieć o napadzie na pociąg dokonanym przez czterech premierów i naczelnika państwa. Może jak będę stał lepiej z funduszami na rozrywkę to sam zrobię taki. To też jest nasza historia.

Love interesting puzzles - that is, puzzles about interesting things

I don't understand what #9 is about. Can you rephrase the question? (może być i po polsku :P )
Also, still can't solve #3.
EDIT: got #9 now.

Bump for solved! Interesting puzzle here!

I'll pass the quiz, since I'm from Poland, better give a chance some people outside to learn something about it :P But for fun watch this

Answers added.

No offence, but Q3 is simply wrong. Polish sabre is not a Sword. Sword got straight wide blade, sharpened on both sides. It was used in polish army for the last time around XVIII century. There is a very big difference in polish military between these two weapons. Why? Because it was forbidden in 1939 for a soldier to carry a sword - but officers and cavalry was using high quality sabres.

Polish Sabre is a very different weapon. It's blade is thin and curved, but curvature varies on entire length of the blade, with lower radius on the end of the blade. It weights significantly less then the sword, and it must be made out of higher quality steel. But thanks to this it is one of the fastest white weapons in the world - but it still can cause very dangerous wounds. It enables you but move from parry to attack with such high speed that in most times while fighting against any sword (including Japanese Katana) you can just do everything much faster than your opponent. That's why it was much more dangerous weapon. If you ask polish fencer used to fight with sabre what do they think about fighting with Katanas they will reply that everything is just very slow, and every cut is delayed and signalised - as a result very easy to parry. Also you can't thrust efficiently with Katana. I'm very sorry Japan - but the best you ever got in melee weapons was 2-nd place.

Mjr. Stachurski was issued with Sabre wz. 34. It was used military as a weapon during WWII at least 16 times, with much success. Polish Cavalry used it while attacking German Infantry, and in close combat it was a very dangerous weapon even in 1939. And for the record, yes Polish Cavalry attacked many times German tanks, but never with sabres - they had a Anti-Armor cannons and Ur rifles for that. Sabre wz. 34 was designed not by blacksmiths but by engineers, with a lot of calculations on durability and ergonomic. It weighted just under 1 kg, with 82,5 cm blade. It was possible to cut half centimetre thick steel sheet with it - but it wasn't it's biggest strength. It was the fact that they used modern flexible high carbon steel. (most high carbon steels are just to easy to break to use them as a metal for a weapon) Thanks to this it was very durable, and even after thrusting it straight into the ribcage - it was still easy to pull out, and it was still sharp and ready to thrust another enemy. The same weapon returned to Polish army in 2002 (under a name Sabre wz.34/2002) as a parade weapon.

And yes, I know that some people say that Sabre is a type of Sword - but making this mistake, in a country which has such high traditions in manufacturing melee weapons - is like mistaking Musket with high power sniper rifle. It's just giving a false impression of Polish history.
