The Union of Supporters of Upper Silesia in Praszka as a source of information about the situation in the poviats of Olesno and Kluczbork in the years 1920–1921

Summary/Abstract: The Union of Supporters of Upper Silesia was founded after the Second Silesian Uprising. Its tasks included providing the Polish underground organisation in Upper Silesia with weapon and ammunition and creating the food supply and sanitary facilities on the Polish side of the border for the Polish underground in Upper Silesia in case of a possible armed conflict with Germans. An essential part of the Union’s activities was intelligence work, a source of valuable information about the situation in the Upper Silesia poviats. The Union cooperated closely with the Centre of Physical Education; subsequently, after the dissolution of the latter, it was absorbed by the Command of Defence of the Plebiscite. The seat of the General Office of the Union was Sosnowiec, later Częstochowa. The organisation had its branch offices located at the Polish and Upper-Silesian border in Sosnowiec, Częstochowa, Dziedzice and Praszka. The Union’s office in Praszka was managed by Jan Hupa. The organisation played a great role during the Third Silesian Uprising and afterwards. It was dissolved in October 1921.
