  • Stanislaviv in the Face of the Polish-Soviet War 1939 Polish Garrison – Soviet Garrison
    Open Military Studies 2020; 1: 70–78 Research Article Maciej Franz* Stanislaviv in the face of the Polish-Soviet War 1939 Polish Garrison – Soviet Garrison https://10.1515/openms-2020-0107 Received Oct 07, 2020; accepted Dec 11, 2020 Abstract: In 1921-1939 Stanyslaviv was one the bigger polish garrisons. The approach of the war the reason for leaving the town by polish troops. In September of 1939 the garrison in Stanyslaviv was rather small, consisting of small logistic units. Until now the historians have been interested in the face of this particular garrison in those few September days of 1939th. This is an attempt to showcase the most important events that happened while the polish troops were stationed in town and were still trying to provide peace and safety it and its people. Keywords: Polish troops, polish campaign, 1939, Second World War The Polish campaign of 1939, as the first episode of World War II, was not the same in all parts of Poland. For the inhabitants of Stanislaviv and a significant part of the Stanislaviv Voivodeship, it did not turn out to be a war against the Third Reich, but Soviet aggression – it is another episode on the long list of Polish- Russian armed conflicts in history. For people who lived in the western, southern and northern provinces of the Second Polish Republic, the war immediately took on a normal appearance. Air raids by enemy planes began, as a result – bombing, and a few days later the front was changed. The symbols of those days were mass groups of soldiers moving through these territories, both Polish soldiers who had to defend their homeland and those Germans who sought to conquer the Polish state.

  • The Grand Duke Constantine's Regiment of Cuirassiers of The
    Johann Georg Paul Fischer (Hanover 1786 - London 1875) The Grand Duke Constantine’s Regiment of Cuirassiers of the Imperial Russian Army in 1806 signed and dated ‘Johann Paul Fischer fit 1815’ (lower left); dated 1815 (on the reverse); the mount inscribed with title and dated 1806 watercolour over pencil on paper, with pen and ink 20.5 x 29 cm (8 x 11½ in) This work by Johann Georg Paul Fischer is one of a series of twelve watercolours depicting soldiers of the various armies involved in the Napoleonic Wars, a series of conflicts which took place between 1803 and 1815, when Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo. The series is a variation of a similar set executed slightly earlier, held in the Royal Collection, and which was probably purchased by, or presented to, the Prince Regent. In this work, Fischer depicts various elements of the Russian army. On the left hand side, the Imperial Guard stride forward in unison, each figure looking gruff and determined. They are all tall, broad and strong and as a collective mass they appear very imposing. Even the drummer, who marches in front, looks battle-hardened and commanding. On the right-hand side, a cuirassier sits atop his magnificent steed and there appear to be further cavalry soldiers behind him. There is a swell of purposeful movement in the work, which creates an impressive image of military power. The Russian cuirassiers were part of the heavy cavalry and were elite troops as their ranks were filled up with the best soldiers selected from dragoon, uhlan, jager and hussar regiments.

  • Poland First to Fight
    Poland First to Fight Poland First to Fight Bogusław Kopka, Paweł Kosiński Muzeum ii Wojny Światowej Gdańsk 2018 Poland was the first country to firmly resist the brutal expansion of the totalitarian powers that were utterly indifferent to the rights of weaker countries. Poland’s armed resistance to German aggression on September 1, 1939, was a turning point in world politics towards the Third Reich. Contrary to the hopes of Adolf Hitler, on the third day after the commencement of military operations the German attack on Poland transformed into a world war.

  • Tadeusz Miczka About the Role of Cavalry Myth in Shaping of Polish Identity (O Roli Mitu Kawalerii W Kształtowaniu Polskiej Tożsamości)
    Tadeusz Miczka About the role of Cavalry myth in shaping of Polish identity (O roli mitu kawalerii w kształtowaniu polskiej tożsamości) Myths have an important integrating role in life of every community. They pass so called “sacred knowledge” and “ canons of values” from one generation to another. They strongly influence understanding of history and current affairs, just like facts do. Scientific research shows without any doubts that mythical thinking is durable and important part of human consciousness which shaped holistic visions of the world. The process does not depend upon the level of social development of particular communities or spreading of rationalistic attitudes and materialistic viewpoints. Other social structures, such as national identities, are based on these holistic visions. It is justified to introduce notions of strong and weak identity. In the history of mankind strong, or essential, identities were dominating. They are internally coherent, they integrate all the components and are based on constant fundaments. Weak identities, which are nonessential, are internally incoherent, they are constantly liberating from restrictions of tradition, culture and rules of social life. They were mainly theoretical constructs, artistic visions or fantasies and dreams of rebellious individuals. National identities, which are interesting for me, obviously start processes of identifying oneself and other people in the course of interaction, which connects elements of different types according to the rules typical for strong identities. National identities have been usually treated as objectively existing beyond control of an individual, they are derived from ready, universal and hard to undermine formulas, are strongly determined by historical conditions (their nature is to continue the past), they make us perceive an individual and its surroundings through the prism of defined centre, which authorizes excluding “not-us , in other words “others”.

  • EDWARD RYDZ-ŚMIGŁY a Political and Military Biography
    EDWARD RYDZ-ŚMIGŁY A Political and Military Biography Ryszard Mirowicz Translated and edited by Gregory P. Dziekonski The copyright over the translation has been granted to the translator by the copyright holder of the original Polish text, and I authorize the University of Washington Libraries to make the full text of the English translation available to readers worldwide. TRANSLATOR’S NOTE The original Polish version of this book was written in the 1980s under communist rule, and remained dormant in a censor’s office for over a year. The author was ordered to alter various references concerning the Teschen dispute in 1938 and the Soviet invasion of Poland in alliance with the Nazis in September, 1939. Although the author expressed satisfaction at the eventual compromise between mandated omissions and academic integrity just prior to publication, the translator has made an attempt to add a few footnotes to provide some balance to the narrative. Regarding the customary problems with geographical locations in multiple languages, most locations described in First World War battles on the eastern front in which the Legions were involved and the post-war military operations in the Ukraine, Byelorussia, and Lithuania are in Polish. Otherwise, respective languages for whichever countries in which the geographic locations happened to be situated at the time are used. English names were used for those which possess them, such as “Warsaw,” “Cracow,” “Kaunas,” etc. Numbered footnotes are mostly identical to those in the original text and are listed at the end of each respective section. Footnotes with an asterisk at the bottom of the page are citations which the translator has added.
