Summary/Abstract: In 2015 in the series Studia i Materiały Poznańskiego IPN, a work by the editorial staff of Dr Rafał Sierchuła entitled Drezdeński szafotery was published. This book is the result of a Polish-German scientific conference organized in Poznań by the local branch of the Institute of National Remembrance on May 21, 2010, under the slogan 'Śladami zbrodni' - Dresden Scaffold. The editor and the authors of individual articles pointed to two main assumptions for the publication of the results of their scientific investigations. First, describe the German occupation system and the functioning of the judiciary, mainly in the Reichsgau Wartheland. Secondly, commemoration of the heroic soldiers and activists of anti-German underground organizations, including mainly the national underground, who were sentenced by the Germans to the death penalty, and the judgments were carried out by guillotine in the Dresden prison complex on the Munich square.
