Nevertheless, due to the scattered and incomplete source base, many issues require further research and an in-depth, wider coverage. This is all the more important as the course of contemporary conflicts, including the ongoing war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, demonstrate the impermanence of many experiences in military history and the principles of the history of the art of war. The aim of the research undertaken is to show the knotty problems connected with food supplies for the units fighting in the defence of Warsaw in September 1939. The authors, carrying out an in-depth historical analysis of hitherto unknown documents and archive accounts supplemented with literature on the subject, present the preparations, plans, organisation and implementation of food security for the units taking part in the defence of the Polish capital at the beginning of the Second World War. As a research hypothesis, the authors assumed that, despite the difficulties of a planning, organisational, competence and executive nature on the Polish side, it was thanks to the initiative and resourcefulness of some officers at various levels and various intendant structures that the chaos was eventually brought under control and food was provided to the defenders of Warsaw. Thus, the authors prove that the human factor in the situation had a decisive impact on sustaining the high morale and fighting ability of Polish troops and civilians.

This study attempted to assess the causes and purpose of these activities, identify possible deficiencies, and the potential impact on national security in the future. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was carried out based on a detailed analysis of press materials and current monitoring of the announcements prepared by spokespersons of military units and institutions, as well as announcements of the Polish Press Agency. Their verification and formulation of specific conclusions was possible with the use of the answers given to the authors' inquiries and interviews with MUT officers and cadets, who participated in the implementation of tasks related to combating SARS-CoV-2. Findings: The events of the last months in Poland have clearly shown the problem that has been repeatedly raised by persons dealing with national safety and security engaged in the protection of the population. The problem is that such persons are underfunded and are not prepared to carry out the tasks imposed on them to a sufficient extent in a situation of threat to the health and life of citizens. Therefore, in the situation of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Poland, it was necessary to involve the Polish Army, which, successfully fills the existing gap in the Polish civil protection system. Practical Implications: The authors, by pointing numerous examples, pointed out that such an efficient and comprehensive operation of the Polish Army would not have been possible without the involvement of a new type of armed force, created in 2017, namely the Territorial Defense Forces, for which the actions taken, provide an excellent opportunity to test in crisis conditions the effectiveness of the adopted solutions, as well as to redefine some of the tasks, and thus better ensure the protection of the civilian population and military security of the country in the future. Originality/Value: In the case of the combating SARS-CoV-2 we find that the controversial new type of armed force in Poland-Territorial Defense Forcesshould be developed and prepared to assist the civilian population in crisis situations in the future.

For this reason, it fought by various means against the Union for Armed Struggle and the Home Army, which were the armed forces of the Polish authorities. The existence of the Polish armed underground connected with the legal authorities in exile threatened the Soviet plans for a quick and complete subjugation of the territories along the Vistula River and the establishment of communist rule there after the war.

He verifies the usefulness of this undertaking and at the same time shows, among others, problems related to technical capabilities of the Polish arms industry as well as provision of logistic support; above all, he uses this example to draw attention to the lack of continuity of actions and numerous changes in the plans for technical modernisation of the army in terms of armoured vehicles.

Dotyczy ona różnych jego aspektów, począwszy od zagadnień strategiczno-operacyjnych, problemów politycznych, uwarunkowań wewnętrznych i międzynarodowych, analizy militarnych działań powstania, reakcji na powstanie, poprzez eksterminację ludności i powstańców, po zburzenie miasta. Mimo takiego bogactwa literatura powstańcza zawiera wiele luk i rozbieżności, wiele zagadnień czeka na bardziej obszerne zbadanie i opracowanie. Wykorzystując materiały archiwalne, w tym dokumenty z archiwów w Nowym Jorku, Londynie, Freiburgu oraz Polsce, jak również istniejącą literaturę przedmiotu, autor przedstawia nieznane dotychczas kwestie związane z zabezpieczeniem oddziałów AK w żywność i wodę na czas Powstania Warszawskiego. Wskazuje na stan przygotowań i występujące problemy z zaopatrzeniem. Twierdzi także, iż zabezpieczenie Armii Krajowej w żywność na czas walki było niewystarczające, a przez to miało istotny wpływ na rozwój wydarzeń w Wa...

Wyjaśnia relacje łączące Koreańską Republikę Ludowo-Demokratyczną z Polską w latach 1948–1953, jak również wskazuje na bardzo dużą jej zależność od Związku Radzieckiego po II wojnie światowej. Na tym tle przedstawia główne postanowienia porozumienia rozejmowego kończącego trzyletnią wojnę na Półwyspie Koreańskim oraz ukazuje rzeczywiste motywy zaangażowania Polski w działania pokojowe w tamtym rejonie. Przedstawia również najważniejsze aspekty organizacyjne.
