Capital punishment is an exceptional type of penal sanction for the most serious crimes in penal legislation of countries which permit such penalty. In the period of the Second Polish Republic a capital punishment judgement in military penal law was permitted for crimes committed at the time of war, often having negative impact on the combat capacity and morale of a given military unit. Following the example of legislation of the Second Polish Republic, authors of the Polish Army’s Penal Code from 1944 assumed that a capital punishment judgement should apply to extremely serious crimes committed by soldiers, usually “in the field”, in the course of war operations. Inclusion of a chapter concerning political crimes punishable with serious penal sanc- tions (including capital punishment) into the military code of 1944, as well as moving civil cases of people accused of such acts under the jurisdiction of military courts, led to a situation where this code (in judiciary practice since the beginnings of the Polish People’s Republic) became one of the most repressive legal acts, taking into account the number of death penalties adjudged under its provisions.

The regulations protecting civil population against abuse on the part of the soldiers started to appear in view of the military art development observed at the beginning of the 20th century, and a change of conducting military conflicts in criminal legislation of particular countries. Protection of civil population against the effects of the war was the issue particularly important in the light of the World War II. After its end, many norms of an international law making an effort to meet this problem were created. Regulations predicting criminal responsibility of the soldiers for crimes against popula- tion and property (war crimes) also appeared in the post-war military criminal law. They were included into the Criminal Code of Polish Army from 1944 making its chapter XXV. Being a combination of solutions functioning on the basis of the military criminal code from 1932 and Soviet patterns, the regulations of chapter XXV were biding until the criminal code of the People’s Republic of Poland from 1969 was put into effort.

Keeping a secret was considered to be one of the main duty of each citizen in the People’s Poland. It was conditioned by an international situation in which Poland and the remaining coun- tries of the communist bloc found themselves after the beginning of the “cold war”. One of the secrets the communist authorities took a special care of was a military secret. Its violation was regarded as a serious threat for the interests of the people’s country dealing with a capitalist encirclement. It constituted one of the reasons of creating a developed system of the regulations of the criminal law to provide protection of the military secret. A starting point was regulations of the criminal code of the Polish Army from 1944 which later on were supplemented with subsequent regulations. The publication of a decree on the protection of a state secret and confidential information from 26 October 1949 was a breaking point in a legal-criminal protec- tion of the military secret. Being a result of an exacerbating internal and external situation, it brought new regulations not only in the protection of the military secret. Based on the Soviet patterns, it predicted pun- ishment for revealing any information regarded to be secret. At the same time, it repealed the already existing regulations of the criminal code of the Polish Army, guaranteeing the protection of the military secret. Biding till the criminal code from 1969, a decree from 26 October 1949 was the basic legal act protecting information in a secret clause in the People’s Poland.
