The Polish press in exile’s interest in Norwegian affairs began when Germany attacked Denmark and Norway in April 1940, at which time Polish soldiers were sent to Narvik to participate in the Allies’ defence of the country. The battle of Narvik became a symbol of Polish-Norwegian solidarity and reactivated existing Polish traditions of identifying themselves with those fighting “for our freedom and yours” For a long time Norway was associated in Polish minds with the expedition to Narvik. The subject was frequently raised in the emigre Polish press and in separate publications during the course of the War. This interest in Norway was enhanced by a community spirit and a shared political aim: the defeat o f Germany and the liberation of the homeland. Therefore Polish journalists recorded all kinds of Norwegian propaganda in Britain, important statements made by the King, Haakon VII, and by the government in exile. Polish commentators also presented Norway as a victim of German aggression. Numerous articles described the conditions of every day life under German occupation; issues related to food shortages, the lack of basic articles as clothes and fuel were all repeatedly exposed. From the end of 1941 this media coverage presented its readers with a picture of a nation that was actively resisting occupation. The difficult question of Vidkun Quisling’s collaboration with the Germans was, however, dealt with separately by Polish publicists.

The Union of Polish Patriots (ZPP) in Sweden assembled a group of Polish communists, who found themselves in Sweden during the Second World War. Its main activist was a seaman serving on a Polish merchant vessel, Jerzy Paƒski, who jumped ship in 1939. The organization’s work can be divided into three periods. As from mid 1943 at least, an informal group of Polish communists, supported by the Soviet legation in Stockholm, started spreading propaganda, which fought the Polish Government in Exile, amongst the Polish refugees. The Republic of Poland’s Legation trivialised it’s activities for a long time. The creation of the Polish Committee for National Independence (PKWN) in July 1944 was the turning point. That is when the Union of Polish Patriots officially inaugurated its activities and gained the acceptance of Swedish authorities. It became the actual representative of the Polish Committee for National Independence, later the Temporary Government, although they only made contact with the “Lublin authorities” in October 1944. The Union of Polish Patriots developed widespread organisational and propaganda initiatives. It published a simple news bulletin, organised meetings, registered refugees before their expected repatriation and vainly tried to recruit them to Berling’s army. The aim was to create a political centre which would compete with The Republic of Poland’s Legation, which represented the Polish Government in Exile and the local Polish community. It seemed that with the Swedish authorities’ passive attitude the Union of Polish Patriots might become an equipollent centre to the Legation. However, the communist propaganda did not gain many supporters and it seems that the Swedes, seeing the Soviet support for Jerzy Paƒski’s group treated it more seriously than the Poles themselves. The Union of Polish Patriots role in initiating Polish-Swedish industrial contacts was very small. However, Pański deserves credit for convincing the Swedes to send humanitarian help to Poland in December 1944. When the legation was taken over by the party from Warsaw in July 1945 and Pański soon departed to Poland, the Union of Polish Patriots started to search for a new formula as the basis of its activities. It tried to continue the pro-repatriation propaganda, but the Republic of Poland’s Legation started to get the upper hand. Additionally personal conflicts arose between members. Finally it was agreed that the organisation had fulfilled its mission and was dissolved.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the Epidemic Commission of the League of Nations’ activity in Warsaw and answer the questions: how its relations with the Polish authorities developed, what instruments did it have at its disposal, and what were the results of its efforts? Based on the materials from the League of Nations Archives in Geneva, it should be said that the operation of the Commission in Warsaw was of key importance for the forms of activity and development of organisational structures of the League of Nations responsible for health protection. The outstanding Polish bacteriologist and social activist Ludwik Rajchman played a vital role in this context.

Celem niniejszego tekstu jest zaprezentowanie problemu ze szwedzkiej perspektywy, z uwzględnieniem celów polityki zagranicznej neutralnej Szwecji, jej aktywności w Lidze Narodów oraz stosunku do sytuacji po drugiej stronie Bałtyku. Spór polsko-litewski obserwowano w Sztokholmie z uwagą, ale nie angażowano się w jego rozwiązanie. Dopiero w listopadzie 1920 r. Liga Narodów zwróciła się m.in. do Szwecji o wysłanie do Wilna oddziału wojskowego, który miałby zabezpieczyć obszar planowanego plebiscytu. The purpose of the article is to present the problem as seen from the Swedish perspective, with due regard to foreign policy aims of neutral Sweden, its activity in the League of Nations, and its attitude towards the situation on the other side of the Baltic Sea. The Polish-Lithuanian conflict was carefully observed from Stockholm, but without any Swedish engagement. Only in November of 1920 the League of Nations asked Sweden, among other countries, to send to Vilnius a military unit to protect the planned plebiscite area.
