The previous output of the Polish historiography concerning the Polish-German warfare from September and October 1939 is enormous. It is due to the fact that the interest in that range of problems does not grow any weaker. This causes systematic generation of a vast and constantly growing amount of various, more or less valuable publications relating to the political and military causes of that conflict and the course of the Autumn 1939 Campaign, and also its military and social consequences. Still, not all of its aspects found sufficient and regular as well as adequate reflection in historical literature. This observation also relates to the issue of personnel crews of various military forces in the Polish Army which took part in the campaign. However, for a while now, it is the closely related matter of their mobilisation in the time frame between March and beginning of September 1939 that has been generating the interest of historians. The same situation is in case of mobilisation and crews of various military forces in the Polish Army, as well as the changes taking place in those matters in the period from March till end of August 1939, despite the fact that there already exists quite comprehensive literature which discusses those issues. This is why the author took aim at elaborating a possibly full personnel crew of the Pomeranian Chevalier Brigade as of 23rd March 1939 when the formations that were part of the brigade were alarmed, and at the changes that occurred in that matter till the outbreak of war, that is its crew as of 1st September 1939. Apart from conveying possibly a full list of command positions of that brigade’s contingents and officers, officer cadets, non-comissioned officers occupying those posts, the author made also an effort to determine accurate personal data and ranks and titles of those persons. As a result, there originated so far the fullest personnel crew of that huge chevalier unit of the Polish Army, on the day before the outbreak of Polish-German war in 1939.
