Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being "Europe; Prussia; East Prussia", but East Prussia refers to the main part of the region of Prussia along the southeastern Baltic Coast from the 13th century to the end of World War II in May 1945. After WWII East Prussia was divided at Stalin's insistance between the Soviet Union (the Kaliningrad Oblast, now part of Russia), Poland, and Lithuania. The Place field has been amended accordingly.
