Summary/Abstract: Pre-war Poland was inhabited by dozens tens of thousands of Adventists, Baptists, Bible Students, Pentecostalists, as well as members of many other minor Christian Churches. A large number of those believed in the inerrancy of the literal Scriptures and insisted the Bible was literally true which meant for them an uncompromising objection against military service with the use of arms. Some also objected to their swearing of the military oath.
