State Policy in the field of Defence Preparation of the Society in the Second Polish Republic

Abstract

Recalling the activity of the prewar State Office for Physical Education and Civil Defence Training seems necessary in view of the increased interest of the society, mainly young people, in defence matters and patriotic past. Obviously, the circumstances and conditions have changed significantly but the idea and organizational structure of the State Office for Physical Education and Civil Defence Training seems to be still present today. It is essential that the activities of both the State Office for Physical Education and Civil Defence Training and its local structures did not impose and did not monopolize the defence commitment of the society but only provided all the groups of the society with material and organizational aid related to civil defence training.
