Summary/Abstract: Activities of the Salesians for Polish armies during the Second World War were usually private things, it weren't any organized actions. In this article, there are shown lots of 14 Salesians who were committed in field priesthood in the country, in transitory camps (in Hungary) and in the second corps (in Soviet Union, Italy, England and Middle East). Two of them died during their warfare (Fr. J. Łobacz and Fr. H. Boryński). Three of them went through concentration camps (Fr. J. Cybulski, Fr. S. Janik, Fr. J. Łobacz) and one of them had to go for the second time to Siberia (Fr. J. Kapusta). After the warfare some of them came back to Poland Fr. A. Golubski from Hungary (1945), Fr. L. Kasperlik from Italy (1946) and Fr. A. Świda from England (1947) the rest stayed with the emigrants – ex-soldiers.
