Die zwei wissenschaftlichen Hauptinteressensschwerpunkte Andrzej Nadolskis waren, ohne jeden Zweifel, Archäologie des Mittelalters und des Militärwesens, und zwar in allen Aspekten: von Waffenkunde über Schlachtfelduntersuchungen bis hin zu Organisierungsfragen der militärischen Strukturen. Bevor sich aber diese Interessen kristallisierten, hatte A. Nadolski sein archäologisches Abenteuer mit älteren Epochen begonnen. Gemeint ist hier vor Allem die vorrömische und römische Kaiserzeit. Es scheint, als sei diese frühe archäologische Aktivität durch Konrad Jażdżewski inspiriert gewesen. Dieser Artikel bespricht also alle wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeitsbereiche Andrzej Nadolskis, die mit Vorgeschichte verbunden sind: Ausgrabungen, Publikationen und Didaktik.

Biography and scientific achievements of Professor Andrzej Nadolski, archaeologist, expert on historical weapons and medievalist are well known. However, few people know that both his professional and non-professional interests have already been formed before the World War II when he was just a young boy. He grew up in a family of noble descent and insurrectionary traditions. One of the most important person for Andrzej Nadolski was his father, the military doctor in the rank of colonel who was a true role model due to his patriotic believes, deep knowledge and love of nature. Since he was young, Andrzej Nadolski knew how to use firearms. He travelled on horseback and practiced fencing. He knew the base of military tactics as well. Moreover, he was interested in history and nature. Until his death, the great passion of professor Andrzej Nadolski was entomology, to which he very often devoted his free time. He could also play the piano, he wrote a small forms of poetry and drew funny and satirical drawings. Many of his works have survived in the home archive. He had a very broad and diverse knowledge. As a university lecturer, he was an excellent promoter and populariser of science. He was a classic example of a naturalist-humanist – an attitude typical of researchers in the first half of the twentieth century.

In the 20th anniversary of death of Professor Andrzej Nadolski Ph.D., students and friends will recall his accomplishments as well as his research and academic achievements. The organizers of this academic session are mostly weapon experts – heirs and successors of work of their late master. Professor A. Nadolski Ph.D. was not just an archaeologist and expert on medieval art of warfare, strategy and tactics, but he was also interested in the defense construction and material culture of the Middle Ages. Moreover, it should be remembered that he was a broad-minded researcher and scholar. Apart from the historical interests he had also a great knowledge of biology. He knew a rich world of winged beings, he had passionately documented existing species of butterflies and he would never turn a blind eye on any plant. He was also interested and engaged in social issues. He was actively involved in works of numerous boards, committees and scientific societies. He took part in sessions, debates and conferences both in Poland and abroad. He participated in international congresses and cooperated with filmmakers as an expert-consultant in the production of historical films. He was highly valued as an educator – a lecturer at several Polish universities. He was an eager supporter of popularization of historical science through the dissemination of knowledge about regional, national and common tradition. He believed that being aware of your own history is a responsibility of a cultured person and such knowledge has the effect on reinforcing of social bonds. As a member and a chairman of the Common Knowledge Society (Towarzystwo Wiedzy Powszechnej), he put in practice the implementation of science popularization ideas. During the World War II, Professor A. Nadolski Ph.D. took active part in actions of Home Army (Armia Krajowa) and defended his Country.

This paper deals with the past, the present and the future of Polish studies of arms and armour. As one of students of Professor Andrzej Nadolski, I perfectly remember the birth of the research centre in Łódź in the 1960s. It specialised in studies of weaponry, armament and military costume and in this field it was the most interesting research centre in Poland at that time. In those days, our research mainly focused on the Middle Ages. At the same time, in our activities we referred to the term of “arms and uniforms,” which was used by historians of army and military affairs in the interwar period. Present-day Polish studies of arms and armour, done by historians, archaeologists and art historians, are a significant element of the totality of processes of learning about the peculiarity of our history. Studies of arms and armour are now carried out not only in main academic centres, but also in several museums and in local environments. This field of research requires considerable knowledge and firm specialisation; on the other hand, sometimes it goes into areas with poor cognitive perspectives. In this paper I discuss two such cases. In the first one, the failure resulted from a simple lack of knowledge and historical reflection. In the other one, the fiasco of research results was determined by a preponderance of an idée fixe over calm reflection and over a need for source criticism with its necessary skills. Today, the group of researchers who define themselves as students of arms and armour are aware that the origin of this field as academic study is related to Professor Andrzej Nadolski, who died twenty years ago. The knowledge of this, however, must be continuously maintained.

Professor Andrzej Nadolski zeichnete sich durch ein breites wissenschaftliches Interesse aus, das u.a. auch die Geschichte des polnischen Militärwesens und den Verlauf von Schlachten und Kriegen umfasste. Die ersten archäologischen Untersuchungen eines Schlachtfeldes wurden in den 70er Jahren des 20. Jhs bei Raszyn durchgeführt. Dort hatten sich am 19. April 1809 die Armeen des Herzogtums Warschau und Österreichs geschlagen. Leider wurden bei den Ausgrabungen nur Soldatengräber aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg entdeckt. In den 70er Jahren des 20. Jhs führte das Team von Prof. A. Nadolski weitere Feldstudien im Umfeld der Schlachten bei Lubiszewo (1577) und Rokitki in Pommern (1627) durch. In den Forschungsjahren 1976, 1977 und 1979 wurde in Lubiszewo u. a. eine Bestattung von neun Männern entdeckt, die Spuren von Verletzungen an den Knochen trugen. Diese Pionierleistung von A. Nadolski und seinen Mitarbeitern erlaubte es, die Methodik zur Forschung über Schlachtfelder zu entwickeln, mit deren Hilfe sie in den 80er Jahren des 20. Jhs das Schlachtfeld bei Grunwald/Tannenberg erforschten.
