Summary/Abstract: The article is a synthesis of the activities of the members of the self-proclaimed Committee of Three (Brig. Gen. Stanisław Tatar and his associates – Col. Stanisław Nowicki and Lt. Col. Marian Utnik) from 1947–1949 – until their arrest by the communist security service in November 1949. Based on archival sources, it presents not only the moral decay of three high-ranking and positioned officers of the Polish Army and the Polish Armed Forces, but also a much more painful study of their agent activities and mutual deliberation inspired by the II Department of the General Staff of the Polish People’s Army.
