I suggested in a comment below that this song might've been inspired by Kenny Bräck, but in this interview Kenny himself says that SaN was indeed inspired by Stefan "Lill-Lövis" Johansson:

That's curious. I was actually there myself, but don't recall him saying that. Must've missed it somehow. Anyway, as I understand it he is a friend of swedish racecar driver Kenny Bräck, so maybe it refers to him. I'm assuming the former since Knopfler was interviewed by Kenny in his tv-program "Kennys vänner". |

I don't expect it has to be someone polish, but rather in the "end of the thirties" the second world war started in Poland, so it might just be a reference to the upcoming war which means there's "no time for arties" but rather for mobilization, which would fit on a lot of european countries at the time. |

Though I have not read all comments, I believe some people were suggesting that the last two lines indicated that the song is about a civil war.
I'm not saying anything's right or wrong.. but it made me think of this quotation:
"All wars are civil wars, becouse all men are brothers." - Francois Fenelon |
