Summary/Abstract: The source presented here consists of the correspondence between the general administration and military authorities concerning the organization of the Assistance Group, set up at the end of June 1933 in connection with the escalation of the unrest caused by the political and social situation in the western parts of Lviv voivodeship. The group was of mixed character and consisted of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and motor army units. We should stress that air force was also used by the authorities to quell the unrest. The documents contain a description of the actions taken by the army as well as the information coming from the pilots serving over the area where the incidents spread. The case discussed here was the third when in 1932–1933 in the assistance service a several hundred people group of various kinds of units was used to calm grave disturbances of the public order.
