Lolok was correct about "Gwushefski." In Polish, when the L is barred (like the bar on 7 in European writing) it is pronounced as an English W rather
than an L. Complicating matters, however, I doubt that Germans would
retain the Polish pronunciation of the barred L; Germans would probably
say "Glushefski." The "sz" is pronounced as "sh." Executioner 128 was
correct: Kwilecki is pronounced "Kvilets-ki," and his pronunciation of
Gluszewski is probably closer to how Germans would pronounce this name.
