Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 156, Issue 2

Abstract

In spring of the year 1939 the Abwehr and the subordinated to the SS Reichshfuhrer security service commenced mass recruitment among members of the German minority inhabiting the territory of the Republic of Poland to combat and sabotage diversionary organisations. In case of an outbreak of a war, the organisations subordinated to the Abwehr were to carry out attacks on the Polish Army troops, civilians and also destroy important from a military point of view objects, primarily communication ones. Completely different tasks were posed for implementation for groups set up by the security service (Siherheitsdienst - SD). They were engaged in the preparation of provocative actions to justify the aggression of the Third Reich on Poland, as well as drawing up the inventory of people for arrest after the Wehrmacht invaded the Polish territory.
