Because of the dangers awaiting them in their country a number of soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces in the West decided to stay abroad rather than return to the country and wanted their families to join them. This had to be made in an illegal way, through the transfer channels opened by the officers of the Second Polish Corps to illegally transfer messengers of the Polish Government-in-Exile and people associated with the Polish political emigration. In her article the author focuses on the Western Pomeranian sector of the network organized by Horse Captain Antoni Landowski, the head of the “Planning Bureau” of the Polish Intelligence Centre at Meppen, which coordinated activities of various transferring channels through the western frontiers. It was their organizers that in 1947 and 1948 paid for it with their lives, while other members of the network were imprisoned for several or more years. The scale of this people’s transfer was illustrated by the fact that the officers of the Voivode Office of Public Security in Szczecin recognized the liquidation of the network as one of their biggest successes.}, type={Text}, title={Z myślą o powrocie do kraju : działalność przerzutowa rotmistrza Antoniego Landowskiego na rzecz żołnierzy PSZ i Rządu RP na Uchodźstwie}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/59759/PDF/WA303_79105_B155-Polska-T-13-2015_Bykowska.pdf}, keywords={Poland.
