Abstrakt

Little is known and studied of the military personal records of Karol Wojtyła from the Kriegsarchiv in Vienna, which would allow an accurate account of his curriculum vitae and map out the main steps in the course of his military service. Analysis of the above records leads to the conclusion that Karol Wojtyła Sr., John Paul II's father, was for 18 years a professional soldier in the service in the Austro-Hungarian Army, in the 56th Infantry Regiment called the Wadowice Regiment. Later he became an officer in the Polish Army in the reborn Republic of Poland. Throughout his military service he enjoyed a very good reputation and his superiors described him as diligent and honest, valued for his ability to communicate in German.
