Dear Editor,

We're asking you to distribute the national council.

JOZEF PILSUDSKI 11th NOVEMBER 1918

Józef Piłsudski was 1 of the most prominent Polish politicians. Contrary to all ideological opinions, this man had an amazing analytical sense that allowed him, based on cognition and intuition, to foretell certain decisions.

He was the one, and in fact the main promoter of the thesis, that Poland was to regain independency as a consequence of a planet conflict in which I would fight against myself the possessors who deprived the Republic of Poland of sovereignty in the late 18th century.

It was him, too, erstwhile planet War I broke out, with faithful gunmen, first on the side of central states, namely Austro-Hungary and Germany, to then turn distant from existing allies, erstwhile the Polish state demanded this.

This was the case in 1917. At the time, Brigadier Piłsudski instructed his soldiers not to curse to “a faithful brotherhood of arms with Germany and Austro-Hungary”.
Many of them listened to this suggestion, which led to the alleged vow crisis.
The consequence of these events was, among others, the arrest of Piłsudski, as well as interning his gunmen, or sending them to the Austrian army.

In addition to the Brigadier, Germany retained his closest associate Kazimierz Sosnkowski. Both men were arrested on July 22, 1917 in Warsaw. They were then taken to Gdańsk and then to Spandau (then close Berlin). On 6 July of this year, precisely 3 years after the departure of Piłsudski gunmen from Kraków Oleanders to Kielce, the future Polish marshal was located in the Wesel n. Renem fortress. Piłsudski was then placed in the building “Stubenhaus” in the Magdeburg fortress.

Meanwhile, the situation at the First planet War began to look very bad for central states. The Germans suffered a terrible defeat at the conflict of Amiens, which pushed the tide of triumph to the Ententa states, i.e. France, the United States and large Britain.

At the same time, the legend of Piłsudski grew in Polish society. It was portrayed as the Legionary Commandant, 1 of the leaders of the Polish Socialist Party, who for years tried to win freedom and independency for Poland.

He became the main candidate for the most crucial political and military functions, the future sovereign Poland. This can be confirmed by the words of the Polish MP to the German parliament Wojciech Korfante – later 1 of the main political opponents of the Marshal, who stated on October 25, 1918: “I remind you that a man, who, by a major part of the Polish nation, considered a national hero, leader of the Legions, Piłsudski, a man to whom the Polish people entrusted the ministry of war, despite many requests and applications from the Polish authorities, is inactive being held in a fortress in Magdeburg” (23 October 1918). Piłsudski was appointed Minister of Military Affairs in the government of Józef Świeżyński, which is why Korfanty described the Commander as “minister of war”).

The effort to get Piłsudski out of internment became at the time 1 of the most crucial elements of the game of Polish leaders, with the Regency Council at the head, and Germany. However, for respective consecutive days, representatives of central states did not agree to his release, or wanted to do so under certain conditions. However, the situation changed in the first decade of November 1918. At the time, Austro-Hungary and Germany were incapable to carry out war activities. What's more! There was a revolution in Germany, which led to a immense crisis. In view of the above, it was decided to release Piłsudski, hoping that he would be able to calm the temper in Poland.

On 8 November 1918, both the future leader of the Polish state and Kazimierz Sosnkowski were freed by number Harry Kessler, who mentioned that both of them were: "The news of their release was received with kindness full of dignity a la polonaise". They then went by car to Berlin, where they spent the night. Later, a peculiar train went to Warsaw. The officers arrived at the Polish capital on 10 November 1918, at 7.30 p.m. There were respective people waiting for Piłsudski, including a associate of the Regency Council of Fr Zdzisław Lubomirski. The trusted Piłsudski Adam Koc (Chief Commandant of the POW in Warsaw) recalled Lubomirski's behavior: “Prince Lubomirski was very anxious and excited, he repeated respective times: “At last he comes, ah, how good!”. I meant to greet the Chief first erstwhile he gets off the wagon. shortly came the train. The chief came out of it in the company of Colonel Sosnkowski. He was light and of course exhausted from slavery, but it was evident that forces did not abandon him. I approached him and greeted him with the words “Citizen Commandant, by the name of the Polish Military Organization, I welcome a citizen of the Commandant in the capital”. The chief saluted me. Prince Lubomirski led him to his car.”

After welcoming Lubomirski, Koc and Piłsudski, they went to the flat of the first 1 at Frascati Street in Warsaw. Piłsudski later left for his prepared accommodation, which was located at Moniuszko Street. “I spent the full day on Moniuszko Street (10 November) and tried, though a little, to realize the situation [...] There were various delegations with speeches, there was a manifestation at the balcony that I had to go to. And it all happened after the chaotic impressions of abrupt firing me from Magdeburg [...]

When, at least around 10 o'clock in the evening, I banned anyone from letting me in and considered the situation in which I was in the Polish capital, where Beseler reigned, I decided to leave Warsaw immediately [...]" – the leader of the Polish state wrote more than a decade later. Unfortunately, this plan failed, as Piłsudski was visited by a delegation of the German Żołnierski Council, which headed the German army, stationed in Warsaw and the surrounding area. These soldiers reported readiness to submit to the Chief's decisions, although they demanded protection and safe return to their homeland. The brigade agreed to the above, although it gave them the following conditions: surrender of arms and military equipment, and transfer of rolling stock and communications.

In the following days, the Regency Council transferred the authorities over the Polish Army to Piłsudski and entrusted the mission of establishing the government. To this end, the head of the Provisional Government of the People's Republic of Poland – the socialist of Ignacy Daszyński was brought to Warsaw. He came to the Polish capital on 14 November 1918 and was accepted by the Chief. It was during that gathering that Piłsudski criticized Daszyński in the following words: “You piss on the hens to guide, not the politics to do”. In the end Daszyński was given a mission to make a government, which he did not do. In the light of the above, Jędrzej Moraczewski – a companion of Piłsudski from the PPS, whose government managed to formulate. Poland began to regain its independence...
