Summary/Abstract: The subject of this research concerns wartime contributions in kind to the State, the obligation was introduced by the new State authorities on the Polish territories liberated from German occupation. The duty to make these contributions was mainly imposed on farms and agricultural workers on whom the State administration imposed, under threat of criminal liability, the obligation to supply various food products to the State in order to feed the large urban centres struggling with shortages of these products at the end of the Second World War and in the first years after its end. The research aim of this study is to analyse the organisational structure of the administrative apparatus administering the compulsory supply action and to provide a synthetic analysis of the most important legal regulations relating to wartime in-kind contributions during the period in question.
