Organisation, Structure and Personnel of Soviet Military Commandantries on Polish Territory in the Years 1944–1946: Research Reconnaissance

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the legislative basis for the creation of Soviet military commandantries in Central Europe. The Red Army created them in 1944–1945, some were still active in 1946. In the beginning, their task was to secure the frontline background and to organise the army supplies. They were the first administrative authority after the German occupation (often not accepted by the population). Later, military commandants were asked to subjugate the conquered territories of Poland, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. The author describes the types of commandantries (district, municipal, county and commune ones), their personnel (types of posts) and the number of staff of commandantries (from five to several hundred people).
