East Prussia never belonged to Marshal Józef Piłsudski’s sphere of serious interest, irrespective of the period of his political activity. Both in the territorial and military context, East Prussia was merely a derivative of general guidelines of Piłsudski’s and Poland’s policy towards Germany. Despite the fact that nobody questioned the potential threat connected with the East Prussia protrusion, no specific plan of operations for this area was worked out in case of war, and the Marshal himself marginalized the actuality of this threat. Even though, to some degree, such behavior may be explained by the lasting since 1934 disproportion between Polish and German military forces, it is hard not to notice the negligible position of East Prussia on the list of the Marshal’s priorities.

General Lucjan Żeligowski took control over Vilnius in autumn 1920. At the beginning, the city was controlled by Middle Lithuania and after 1922 it belonged to the Republic of Poland. The Lithuanian government in Kaunas and some Lithuanians did not want to accept this fact. Different attempts to change the existing situation were made while discussing the problem on the international arena. A plan of regaining the town with the support of the border states was made in circles of the paramilitary organization of the Lithuanian Riflemen's Union. The publication contains the unrealized plan along with a historical preface of the publisher.
