Summary/Abstract: The very article makes an analysis of the collectiveness of political leaders of NSDAP in Pszczyna county between 1939 and 1945. (Pszczyna county belonged to Polish territories included directly in the Reich in autumn 1939). This type of NSDAP members in Katowice notary has not been the subject of academic considerations so far. The analysis of the group under examination took into account the birth place (to what an extent they were Reichsdeutchers from an Old Reich and to what an extent they were local Volksdeutchers), age (whether they were young or middle-aged), the socio-professional structure, experience in NSDAP, gender, the attitude to the army service, family and belief. The author has established that the majority of political leaders came from the territories of Katowice notary which, before September 1939, belonged to Poland (the preponderance of local Nazis over NSDAP members from the Old Reich). He also noticed the dominance of middle-aged people in the collectiveness in question, supremacy of men over women and a slight predominance of proletariat representatives over lower middle class.
