Contribution to the history of the 58th New York Volunteers Regiment – Polish Legion Recently we may witness, both in Poland and in other countries of Central Europe, a growing interest in the American military history, especially in the American Civil War. A lot of people start asking questions about Polish participation in this bloody conflict that torn the American nation apart. Nations such as the Poles or the Irish, who in the 19th century were deprived of their own countries, were also a reservoir of conscripts for nearly every army of that period. Although the fates of the Irish Civil War veterans have extensive literature, the stories of the Polish veterans are still waiting to betold. This article focuses on three letters written by general Wladimir Krzyzanowski, c.o. of the 58th New York Volunteers Regiment (a.k.a. Polish Legion) found in the archives of the Polish Mission at the Orchard Lake Schools, Michigan. The letters (previously not recognized by Polish historians) are valuable documents showing the mechanism of promotions in the Union Army during the Civil War. They are also a primary source for the prosopography of the Polish ACW veterans. Thanks to the New York State Regiments rosters for the period of the Civil War as well as other sources we may trace the course of duty of these soldiers, try to determine their predecessors and successors. These letters are a glimpse into the ordinary life of the soldiers of that period.

The article describes the history of Polish pre-war policemen who were forced to continue their service in the Polish Police in the General Government (the so-called Blue Police), created by German occupying authorities. Many of these policemen, faithful to the oath they had made before the war, worked for the Polish Underground State. In Kraków, the capital of the General Government, in the Autumn of 1939, Polish policemen began to create conspiracy structures, which gradually became one of the most effective Polish intelligence networks. Thanks to them, the Home Army, subordinated to the Polish Government-in-exile in London, could learn the secrets of the Kraków Gestapo and the German police. Despite the enormous efforts of the German counter-intelligence machine and the losses among the conspirators, they worked out the exact structure of the German forces in Kraków, helped the persecuted population and infiltrated secret German institutions. In post-war Poland, many of them experienced persecution at the hands of the communist regime. Most of them preferred to keep their wartime experiences secret. To this day their activities are poorly known, being suppressed by the popular image of a Polish policeman-collaborator created by the media.

Primate A. I. Komorowski wanted his body to be laid in Łowicz and his entrails in Skierniewice. During the anthropological analysis of the skeleton, lesions and marks after the tissue removal were noticed. These observations were confirmed by written documents and iconographical sources. Combined, they formed the basis for the reconstruction of the Primate's face. The extraction of internal organs became the basis for tracing thanatological practices in Poland

PL

Prymas A. I. Komorowski chciał, aby jego ciało zostało złożone w Łowiczu, a wnętrzności w Skierniewicach. Podczas analizy antropologicznej szkieletu zaobserwowano zmiany chorobowe oraz ślady po usunięciu tkanek miękkich. Obserwacje te znajdują potwierdzenie w źródłach pisanych i ikonograficznych; stały się też podstawą do rekonstrukcji twarzy prymasa. Ekstrakcja narządów wewnętrznych stała się podstawą do prześledzenia praktyk tanatopraktycznych w Polsce.
