Krzysztof Kaczmarski, PH.D. is a
historian, Head of the Branch Public Education Office in Rzeszów. The presented
book is a widened version of his doctoral thesis in which he made a pioneer
attempt to reconstruct the history of the National Alliance, the National
Military Organisation and the National Armed Forces in the Rzeszów region in the
period from autumn 1939 to July-August 1944, i.e. from the beginning of the
existence of the national conspiracy in the Rzeszów region to the moment of the
invasion of that territory by the Soviet troops.
The publication presents the
structures of the national underground in the Rzeszów Area, changes it underwent
as well as main forms of its activities. The book also shows the position of the
national underground on the conspiracy map of the Rzeszów region, at the
background of civilian and military structures of the Polish Underground State.
Krzysztof Kaczmarski managed to
contact a few veterans of the national underground who are still alive as well
as to reach few existing reports and recollections which were often written by
emigrants outside Poland and which have not been so far published nor used. The
author had to face a lack of organisational materials of the National Alliance
and the National Military Organisation because their archives were almost
completely destroyed. Thus, out of necessity, he based his work on investigation
and court proceeding records concerning approximately one hundred activists of
the national underground. He confronted these records with other existing
documents and recollections in order to check their reliability.
Bibliographic notes of more than one hundred activists of the national
underground are a vital addendum to the publication. A majority of them was
elaborated especially for the needs of the book. Other interesting elements are
unknown documents attached in the Annex as well as organigrams and maps
depicting the territorial structure of the National Alliance, the National
Military Organisation and the National Armed Forces in the Rzeszów region.
