Summary/Abstract: The article aims at defining the objects that could have been liable for committing a crime of an attempt to remove an authority of state power and an attempt to change a political system of a state under the regulations of the Criminal Code of the Polish Army (K.K.WP) from 1944. The issue is of particular importance in the post-war legislation because the provisions of the Code were used to eliminate the people with a negative attitude towards the regime introduced in Poland after 1944 from the society. As a rule, the Criminal Code of the Polish Army regulated criminal liability of soldiers as well as the other public officials determined by law. However on its basis mainly civilians were brought to criminal justice, who during martial law time purely exceptionally were subject to those regulations, unduly prolonging the period of the courts’ and military law jurisdiction in case of civilians till 1 May 1955.
