The First World War had a considerable effect on the development of the Hungarian military industry. The war had its effect in the hinterland as well, and on the basis of the law of exceptional power, affected the development of the law enforcement bodies. The sources clearly show how the Hungarian military industry satisfied the requirements of the branches and how the Interior Ministry upheld the continuous operation of the public administration and public safety. Several of the then flourishing military companies' names have since been forgotten while of the bodies of the border guard, gendarmerie, state police, guaranteeing the order in the hinterland in the midst of war conditions, only the last one survived, named police. How were these military factories born and how could they boost their production? How the law enforcement bodies of the era were founded, with what manpower and organizations did they guard public safety?
