The paper focuses on censorship board’s approach to the subject of Home Army in Polish poetry from the period 1956−1958 of the liberalization of culture. The basic purpose of the research is focused on the identification of censorship reference to the image created by the authors. Moreover, it attempts to specify – on the basis of examples – the kind of content that was accepted, rejected or amended. Juxtaposition of the sensor’s reviews, “preventive inspection reports” and the content published works allows for the examination of the depth of the censor’s intervention and their methods of manipulating historical facts concerning the Hole Army. Research of the relationship censor-author allows for analyze “Aesop’s language” strategy. The whole of paper is based on a historical context and related phenomena, including the amnesty and so-called the “rehabilitation”.

The ZWZ/AK “Walentyna” unit operated in the larger part of the pre-war district of Orzechowce. It was a typical self-government district for the regions of Przemyśl and Dobromil, inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians (Ruthenians) and Jews. Owing to the fact that some Ukrainians had engaged in collaboration with the Germans, the Polish underground resistance movement in this area basically had two enemies, i.e. the Germans and Ukrainian nationalists, and later also the Soviets. This article discusses the conditions and the conspiracy activity of the ZWZ/AK organization in the district, as well as the actions carried out in the period under discussion. The text also attempts to show the reasons for a retaliatory and preventive action which took place in Małkowice, one of the villages of that unit after its dissolution in 1945.

The paper presents a precise military operation on the example of the formation of irregular attacks on Nazi war criminals that were carried out in Krakow during World War II. Its organizer was Home Army’s Kedyw, which is a form of territorial military organization created during the occupation. Experiences with the AK can be used when creating the modern territorial defense leading irregular activities.

On the basis of the analysis of the subject literature supplemented with archival materials, the author proves that during World War II, including the period between June 22, 1941 and April 25, 1943, the Soviet Union consistently pursued a policy one of whose main goals was to keep Poland in its sphere of influence. For this reason, it fought by various means against the Union for Armed Struggle and the Home Army, which were the armed forces of the Polish authorities. The existence of the Polish armed underground connected with the legal authorities in exile threatened the Soviet plans for a quick and complete subjugation of the territories along the Vistula River and the establishment of communist rule there after the war.

Celem artykułu jest wyeksponowanie biografii zapomnianego oficera Wojska Polskiego – Jerzego Rożałowskiego, który po ukończeniu Szkoły Podchorążych Kawalerii w Grudziądzu rozpoczął służbę w 1 Pułku Ułanów Krechowieckich. W latach poprzedzających wybuch II wojny światowej wziął udział w kilkunastu zawodach konnych, zdobywając liczne nagrody. Dobrze zapowiadającą się karierę kawalerzysty przerwała agresja niemiecka i konieczność walki o niepodległość. Po kapitulacji armii polskiej por. Jerzy Rożałowski ewakuował się na terytorium Litwy, gdzie został internowany i osadzony w obozie. Na ziemi litewskiej poznaje wówczas swoją przyszłą żonę – Krystynę Bichniewicz, córkę właściciela ziemskiego oraz praprawnuczkę najstarszej siostry Fryderyka Chopina Ludwiki Jędrzejewiczowej, z którą w 1940 r. zawiera związek małżeński. Po ucieczce z obozu internowania Rożałowski włączył się w pracę konspiracyjną i pod nazwiskiem Ryszard Porębski dowodzi 1 Ośrodkiem Dywersyjno-Partyzanckim Okręgu Wileńskiego Armii Krajowej, z którego w czerwcu 1944 r. został sformowany samodzielny Odział Partyzancki, liczący ok. 200 żołnierzy. W tym samym czasie Rożałowski ściśle współdziałał z 7 Wileńską Brygadą Armii Krajowej. Por. Jerzy Rożałowski zaginął 11 lipca 1944 r. w Wilnie podczas próby kontaktu z dowództwem Armii Krajowej.

The aim of this article is to present the biography of a forgotten officer of the Polish Army – Jerzy Rożałowski, who, after graduating from the Cavalry Cadet School in Grudziądz, started his service in the 1st Cavalry Regiment of Krechowiecki. In the years preceding the outbreak of World War II, he took part in over a dozen horse competitions, winning numerous awards. The promising career of a cavalryman was interrupted by German aggression and the necessity to fight for independence. After the surrender of the Polish army, Lieutenant Jerzy Rożałowski evacuated to the territory of Lithuania, where he was interned and imprisoned in a camp. In Lithuania, he then meets his future wife – Krystyna Bichniewicz, the daughter of the landowner and the great-great-granddaughter of Fryderyk Chopin’s eldest sister Ludwika Jędrzejewiczowa, with whom he married in 1940. After escaping from the internment camp, Rożałowski joined the underground and, under the name of Ryszard Porębski, commanded the 1st Infiltration and Partisan Center of the Vilnius District of the Home Army, from which in June 1944 an independent partisan unit was formed, numbering about 200 soldiers. At the same time, Rożałowski worked closely with the 7th Vilnius Brigade of the Home Army. Lieutenant Jerzy Rożałowski went missing on July 11, 1944 in Vilnius during an attempt to contact the command of the Home Army.

This article is devoted to the issue of Polish historical policy with special emphasis on the role and position of the Home Army. The text is divided into four parts. The first paragraph explains the definition of historical policy and the goals that the polish state sets in shaping the politics of memory. The second part points out the position of Home Army soldiers in the times of Polish People’s Republic and the attitude of the elite then ruling to the independence underground. The third focuses on illustrating the change in the state’s policy towards the HA after the political transformation of 1989. The last part is devoted to the tradition of the Home Army currently cultivated by the Polish Army. The research hypothesis assumes that since 1945, the Polish state’s agenda both towards the HA as a whole and its individual soldiers has been changing.

The Warsaw Uprising was a major World War II operation organized by the Polish resistance Home Army. It was planned for 1 September 1944. The start of the uprising in Warsaw spurred social resistance against the Nazi occupiers – people from various backgrounds joined the fighting. Among them were people born in Szadek and in the surrounding commune. The names identified so far include Janusz Laube, Jerzy Laube, Stefan Laube, Anna Meylert, by marriage Nawrot, Bogdan Sztolc, and Mieczysław Nowak, who lived in Szadek in the interwar period. They all survived the dramatic time of occupation in the capital, except for Mieczysław Nowak, killed by KL Gross-Rosen. They fought in the ranks of the battalion “Sokół”, Group “Chrobry II” and Group “Żbik”, having earlier participated in conspiratorial activity of Szare Szeregi (wartime Polish Scouting Association) and NSZ.

Movies create, among others, historical stereotypes. In USSR the presentation of Polish-Soviet relations during World War II was subjected to propaganda reasons. The USSR created its image as the liberator of Europe, concealing the alliance with Germany in 1939. In Soviet movies, Polish Home Army and government-in-exile were shown as pro-German organizations. Polish threads in contemporary Russian movies and TV series, analyzed in the article, seem to justify the hypothesis, that in the years 2005-2010 a chance to change the view of Russian-Polish relations during World War II appeared in Russia. Once the barriers which prevented Russians from learning about the most important facts were gone, the foundations for further exploration of the Polish theme were created. This can result in dissemination of basic knowledge, which is essential for establishing normal Russian-Polish relations.

With the outbreak of World War II, Polish society made all attempts to fight for state sovereignty and protect their own homes and families. From 1939, the inhabitants of Lubla and the surrounding area also joined in these activities. As part of the underground activity, this area belonged to the Jasło Inspectorate, and the Frysztak Outpost. Participants of the underground organizations actively participated in the actions carried out in Lubla and its vicinity, incl. took part in the weapons airdrop in Lubla on July 1, 1944.

The weapons airdrop in Lubla on 1 July 1944 belonged to one of the most dangerous weapons delivery operations for Polish partisans. It took place as part of the third period of airdrops, which was codenamed “Riposta” (Polish for “Retort”) and lasted from 1 August 1943 to 31 July 1944. In that period, 205 airdrops were made. The efficient retrieval of the dropped weapons by about 100 Home Army soldiers from nearby towns and villages enabled the local partisans to engage in combat against both German and Soviet occupiers. The historic plaque installed on 7 July 2002 in the School Complex in Lubla commemorates the airdrop.

The article is to show, in a very condensed form, how security issues were reflected both in the course of service and in the daily life of a Home Army soldier. This is illustrated by the example of the Armed Forces Headquarters in the country. It brings up, among others, such problems as the security of conspirational meetings, mail exchanges, transfer of service materials. It also discusses underground premises and the rules for using them, as well as false documents that allowed for relatively safe movement around the city. The situations described in the article are illustrated with actual cases from archival materials or memories.

Artykuł ma ukazać, w bardzo skondensowanej formie, jak zagadnienia bezpieczeństwa odbijały się zarówno na toku służby, jak i życiu codziennym żołnierza Armii Krajowej. Pokazuje to na przykładzie Komendy Sił Zbrojnych w Kraju. Sygnalizuje m.in. takie kwestie, jak bezpieczeństwo spotkań konspiracyjnych, wymiany poczty, przenoszenia materiałów służbowych. Omawia też lokale konspiracyjne i zasady korzystania z nich oraz fałszywe dokumenty pozwalające na w miarę bezpieczne poruszanie się po mieście. Opisane w artykule sytuacje zostały zilustrowane konkretnymi przypadkami z materiałów archiwalnych lub wspomnień.

The article takes a close look at one female cell in Mokotów Prison in Warsaw, where from September 1949 to early 1950, five women were held together: Sabina Stalińska, Halina Zakrzewska, Tonia Lechtman, Ewa Piwińska, and Vera Szot. Stalińska and Zakrzewska both belonged to the Home Army. Lechtman and Piwińska were both committed and active Communists. Szot was arrested for her participation in the Ukra¬inian Insurgent Army. They spent their early months of interrogation in fearful anticipa¬tion of the coming days. Their interpretation of the situation as well as their allegiance to postwar Poland differed. The varied composition of the cell appeared to be an addi¬tional burden, as if confinement in an extremely overcrowded space was not punishment enough. Yet, the existing sources show that, despite the women’s ideological differences, the cell that they shared became an emotionally and intellectually open space, where at least some of the women attempted to understand each other. Their ideological commit¬ments and Communism were the most neutral topics of their discussions. These talks became their framework of self-exploration, which led to the close relationships that some of them continued years after the release.

The history of the Sędziszów–Ropczyce Sława Home Army Subdivision, which was separated from the Dębica Deser Home Army Division in the spring of 1944, has not been the subject of a separate study so far. Based on the documents available in State Archive in Rzeszów and the IPN Archives, the author has made an attempt to fill this gap. The basis of the study are the documents from the Home Army Inspectorate Rzeszów Rtęć (archives of the Subdivision and the Division were destroyed), supplemented by the accounts of the Home Army soldiers. The Sława Subdivision was created in the final period of anti-German conspiracy, but the outposts: Brzeziny Bomba, Sędziszów I Sława, Sędziszów II Gracja, Łączki Kucharskie Ławka, Ropczyce I Rakieta, Ropczyce II Ropa were being created and functioned from the very beginning of the occupation. Describing them one by one, the author focused on a different type of Home Army activity for each one. The selected activities of the outposts were nottheir exclusive domain, but this manner of description made it possible to show how the Home Army functioned in a condensed manner, and in every possible aspect.These aspects include: the creation of underground structures, training courses, acquiring weapons, intelligence and counter-intelligence, clandestine production of weapons, sabotage and diversionary activities, a functioning underground justice system, receiving air supplies, structural consolidation, preparations for an armed struggle against the occupant and its execution, and the activities of auxiliary services. As a conclusion, the fate of the soldiers of the Sława Subdivision is presented, from the point of the Soviet invasion onto the Subdivision’s territory until the order to dissolve the Home Army of 19 January 1945 came into effect.

Historia Podobwodu AK Sędziszów–Ropczyce kryptonim „Sława”, który wyodrębniono wiosną 1944 r. z Obwodu Armii Krajowej Dębica „Deser”, nie była dotąd przedmiotem odrębnego opracowania. W oparciu o dokumenty z zasobów Archiwum Państwowego w Rzeszowie oraz Archiwów IPN podjęto próbę wypełnienia tej luki. Podstawą opracowania są dokumenty ze szczebla Inspektoratu AK Rzeszów „Rtęć” (archiwa Podobwodu i Obwodu nie zachowały się) uzupełnione relacjami żołnierzy AK. Podobwód „Sława” powstał w końcowym okresie konspiracji antyniemieckiej, jednak Placówki: Brzeziny krypt. „Bomba”, Sędziszów I „Sława”, Sędziszów II „Gracja”, Łączki Kucharskie „Ławka”, Ropczyce I „Rakieta”, Ropczyce II „Ropa”, tworzone były i funkcjonowały od samego początku okupacji. Opisując je kolejno, skupiano się na jednym, za każdym razem innym, rodzaju działalności AK. Zaprezentowane tu, wybrane działania Placówek nie były ich wyłącznymi domenami, ale taka forma opisu pozwoliła w sposób skondensowany ukazać funkcjonowanie AK w każdym z możliwych aspektów. Były to: tworzenie struktur konspiracji, szkolenia, pozyskiwanie broni, wywiad i kontrwywiad, konspiracyjna produkcja broni, działania dywersyjne i sabotażowe, funkcjonowanie podziemnego wymiaru sprawiedliwości, odbiór zaopatrzenia lotniczego, akcja scaleniowa, przygotowania do wystąpienia zbrojnego przeciwko okupantowi, jego realizacja oraz działalność służb pomocniczych. W ramach podsumowania przedstawione zostały losy żołnierzy Podobwodu „Sława” po wkroczeniu na jego teren Sowietów – aż do chwili wejścia w życie rozkazu o rozwiązaniu Armii Krajowej z 19 stycznia 1945 r.
