Summary/Abstract: The article presents the combat task of the Polish Army grouping, the core of which was the 2nd Polish Army under the command of Gen. Karol Świerczewski in the Lusatian operation (April 16–30, 1945). The findings of Polish and foreign researchers to date incorrectly assigned the Polish group to the role of securing the left wing of the 1st Ukrainian Front in the attack on Dresden. The article verifies these findings on the basis of original sources in the form of orders, which are currently available online in the database of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
