Antoni Wysocki (born May 25, 1884, in Poznań, died October 22, 1940, in Lviv) - a member of the Greater Poland Uprising, the commander of the Wilda military campaign, which was the first to reach the Bazar Hotel on the day of the outbreak of the insurrection. == Biography == Antoni Wysocki was born on May 25, 1884, in Poznań. He was a son of Michal (a saddler) and Maria Stępniak. From 1902 to 1904 he was learning to become a printer. He obtained the vocational certificate and worked in the vocation until the outbreak of the I World War. In August 1912, he started to organize the first scout teams in Poznań.〔Powstanie Wielkopolskie 1918-1919 - zarys dziejów - Antoni Czubiński, Zdzisław Grot, Benon Miśkiewicz - Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań 1978〕 Initially, these groups went under the name of ''Towarzystwo Gier i Zabaw dla Młodzieży “Zorza”'' (The Association of Games and Fun for the Youth “The Dawn”), later ''Towarzystwo Skautów “Zorza”'' (The Association of Scouts “The Dawn”), and finally the name got shortened to ''Hufiec “Zorza”'' (“The Dawn” Regiment). Antoni Wysocki became the commander of the regiment.〔Wilda–dzielnica Poznania 1253-1939 – Magdalena Mrugalska-Banaszak – Wydawnictwo Miejskie, Poznań 1999〕 In 1914, Antoni Wysocki became very active in ''Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne “Sokół”'' (The Gymnastic Association “The Falcon”). Among the authorities of the association, he represented the independent way of thinking (in contrast to the legalistic one). In January 1914, a new organization emerged from the Gymnastic Association. Its name was ''Towarzystwo Gier i Zabaw Ruchowych "Zorza"'' (The Association of Games and Physical Activities “The Dawn”). The aim of this organization was to promote physical activities and education. Antoni Wysocki was the initiator of this organization. One of the members of the committee was Salomea Kleps, who later became the wife of Antoni Wysocki. In the years 1914-1915, he was the cofounder of ''Tajna Organizacja Niepodległościowa'' (The Secret Organization for the Independence).〔Z postępowych tradycji oręża polskiego 1917-1939 - Ignacy Pawłowski - Wydawnictwo Ministerstwa Obrony Narodowej, Warszawa 1966〕 Shortly after the beginning of World War I, Antoni Wysocki was recruited to the Prussian Army and fought in the Eastern Front. In 1916 he was nominated to the rank of a non-commissioned officer. In 1916, the organization of ''Główna Kwatera Skautowa na Rzeszę Niemiecką'' (The Scouts Headquarters for the Third Reich) came into being. Its aim was to unite all separately working scout teams. The organization was joined by all scout teams except for ''Hufiec „Zorza”'' (“The Dawn” Regiment) under the command of Antoni Wysocki. Wysocki did not want to lose autonomy and, contrary to other teams, he focused attention on military education and training rather than to educational work.〔Wilda–dzielnica Poznania 1253-1939 – Magdalena Mrugalska-Banaszak – Wydawnictwo Miejskie, Poznań 1999〕 In August 1918 ''Hufiec “Zorza”'' (“The Dawn” Regiment) led by Antoni Wysocki joined ''Polska Organizacja Wojskowa'' (Polish Military Organization) and received the order to invigilate sappers’ barracks in the district of Wilda and the railway storehouses. Soon afterwards Wysocki was nominated to the commander of the Wilda district in Poznań. He also became a member of the police-military commission of ''Rada Ludowa m. Poznania'' (The People’s Council of Poznań).〔Wielkopolska w walce o niepodległość 1918-1919 - Leszek Grot, Ignacy Pawłowski, Michał Pirko - Wydawnictwo Ministerstwa Obrony Narodowej, Warszawa 1968〕〔Powstanie Wielkopolskie 1918-1919 - zarys dziejów - Antoni Czubiński, Zdzisław Grot, Benon Miśkiewicz - Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań 1978〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antoni Wysocki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
