Political aspects of the education of Polish Navy officers in foreign training centers and their role in building the maritime safety system of the state in the 20th century. Part II: the World War II years

Summary/Abstract: Practically since the outbreak of World War II, the Polish Navy has actively participated in naval operations alongside the Royal Navy. The Naval Leadership, operating in the territory of Great Britain, has tried to influence the British Admiralty to enable the launch of the Naval Officer Cadet School, educating the future officers of the Polish Navy, as well as of the centres educating the non-commissioned officer personnel and the training of seamen-shipping specialists. After the Germans began their air and sea operations in Britain, the ships of the Polish Navy were included in the British naval combat teams, which called for the launch of specialized specialist training for the crews of the Polish Navy ships. As a result, the Royal Navy approved the use by officers, non-commissioned officers and seamen of the Polish Navy of British maritime training centres and civilian colleges. All this was aimed at preparing high-class Polish Navy specialists to cooperate with the Allied naval forces. The dynamics of the operations in sea areas and the increase in the number of Polish Navy ships led to the establishing of the Naval Reserve Officer Cadets School in 1943. Throughout the Second World War, training cooperation between the Polish Navy and the Royal Navy functioned well. The professionalism of the crews of the Polish Navy ships was recognized by the British authorities, and the British Admiralty.
