Abstract
Henryk Romanek was the third and the last deputy admiral of the naval Border Guard Troops. He was among selected officers, who after graduating from officer’s navy school were to constitute the foundations of Peoples’ Navy Forces. Thanks to his PPR/PZPR membership, he climbed quickly up the career ladder at BGT and navy, despite the fact that he was not an outstanding officer. He was however, a loyal executor of the tasks given to him. According to his superiors he was competently managing his subordinates – BGT Maritime Service, and then unit 6. Brigade of Frontier Ships (Naval Brigade of Frontier Ships). During his last period, he acted as a military, naval and air attaché to the embassy of the People’s Republic of Poland in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
