Functioning of the offices of rural municipalities in the Lublin district of the General Government 1939–1944

Summary/Abstract: Central and district administrative offices of the General Government were staffed and controlled by Germans, however Poles were placed in many less important positions, such as management of municipalities or municipal enterprises. Polish law was to remain in place unless it diverged from the taking over of the administration by the German Reich. The article uses archival materials. The issues connected with the functioning of municipalities in the Lublin district of the General Government in the 1939–1944 were discussed in specific examples. The author of the article shows the method of nomination and layoff village heads. In addition, the article shows the activity of village heads in the matters that were imposed by the German authorities during the occupation, in particular the collection of quotas and the recruitment of labour to work in the Third Reich.
