Disappointment and Animosities among Polish Combatants in the 1930s The Polish combatant environment was extremely divided in the 1930s, even among members of the same organisations. This is confirmed by a 1935 report by the Ministry of the Interior. The strongest accusations and assaults were directed against Polish and Jewish legionnaires by the national press - including in the papers Polska Narodowa, Falanga and books like Kazimierz Dołega’s Żydzi w czasie walk o niepodległość Polski. War veterans were supposed to be idols and models for society, particularly youths. The divided combatants were hardly able to live up to those ideals.
