Summary/Abstract: The article presents a distinguished historian and literary critic, Kazimierz Wyka, not only asa philosopher of history, but also in a new role of an expert in military craft. A careful readingof Wyka’s essays allowed the author to reconstruct the evolution of the critic’s views (as he wasengaged in the aspects of military system not only during the war, but he recalled this theme duringthe following anniversaries) concerning the causes of the Polish defeat in September 1939. Wykaanalysed the military, economic, propagandist, political and social issues. As a literary scholar, hewas also interested in these problems being discussed — unfortunately, not thoroughly enough —by writers. Subjectively, he emphasised Polish moral claims that determined the fundemental senseof the “Polish September”.
