Abstract

In January 1946 district military prosecutor’s offices were established in the People’s Republic of Poland. In Gdańsk the Prosecutor’s Office started its activity on 1 April 1946 and its area property included the whole Gdańsk voivodeship, i.e. districts: Gdański, Morski, Kwidzyński, Kościerski, Starogardzki, Tczewski, Elbląski, the cities of Gdynia, Gdańsk and Sopot. Among the prosecutors who completed the military service in it during the time period from 1946 to 1955 were, among others, Franciszek Mateja, in the future Deputy General Military Prosecutor, Brigadier General and Wacław Krzyżanowski, Colonel who led to sentencing to death of Danuta Siedzik, pseudonym ‘Inka’. In general, during the whole period of functioning of the District Military Prosecutor’s Office in Gdańsk 41 prosecutors, law enforcement officers, assessors and legal trainees; 37 people of the military and civil court personnel and 34 soldiers of active military service worked in it. Graduates of the various types of schools and legal courses that were organized after the war by the communists for the ‘proper’ training of the ‘submissive’ legal staff constituted the majority of them. The communists planned to fill a large part of the court and prosecution apparatus with these ‘lawyers’, which would enable them to make the illegal methods of fighting with opposition in the country legal.
