Abstract
The Frontier Guards during the time period from 1949 to 1954 were in the structure of the ministry of the Public Security. This situation had a direct impact on directing the activities of the army guarding the borders of the state and influenced the methods of operational work applied by Head of Directorate of the 7th Reconnaissance Command of the Frontier Guards. At the moment of establishing the Ministry of Internal Affairs securing the borders and counterespionage protection of the borders was in the competences of this ministry. Undertaking sovereignty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the Headquarters of the Frontier Guards did not involve breaking the present contacts with the units of the intelligence apparatus. The cooperation with the Head of Directorate of the 7th Reconnaissance Command of the Frontier Guards was continued by the Committee for Public Security in the years from 1954 to 1956. The presented text aims at providing the information about the changes that took place in the years from 1954 to 1955 in the organization and the scope of the operational actions conducted by the Head of Directorate of the 7th Reconnaissance Command of the Frontier Guards. The characteristic feature of this period is a clear evolution of work methods that were applied in the contacts with the intelligence network. The guidelines and recommendations in this scope can be found in the report prepared by Stefan Sobczak, Colonel, the Head of Directorate of the 7th Reconnaissance Command of the Frontier Guards in June 1955.
