 abstract={The following article provides an outline of the biography of Zygmunt Duszyński, the Deputy Minister of National Defence and the chief of the Main Inspectorate of Training in the late ‘50s and the early ‘60s. This prewar reserve officer during the Nazi occupation served in the underground communist guerrilla (People’s Guard/People’s Army), where he was a close co-operator of Marian Spychalski, which paved him the way to the highest positions in the afterwar army. In 1947 Duszyński – as one of the youngest officers of the People’s Polish Army – became a general; right after the war he was leading an infantry division, he also successfully fought the Polish afterwar anti-communist resistance movement. During the Stalinist purges he was “sidelined”. In the 1956, when Władysław Gomułka took the power, Duszyński became the Deputy Chief of General Staff, then the Deputy Minister of National Defence, he was also a member of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party. He was perceived as a high-class general and a specialist, in the case of World War III he was supposed to lead a Polish Front within the Unified Armed Forces of the Warsaw Pact against NATO. In the mid-1960s, due to the internal political turmoil within the leadership of both the party and the army (a conflict between the party’s fractions called “puławianie”, “natolińczycy” and “partisans”), he was removed from power.},
