 in the Implementation of the 'Final Solution'.  \n\nAbstract: In Septemb
 er 1939\, after four weeks of valiant but hopeless struggle against the 
 vastly superior German forces\, the Polish state collapsed. Nevertheless
 \, some of its institutions\, such as the police\, had to be revived by 
 the occupiers. During the first months of occupation the ranks of  the P
 olish 'Blue' Police grew quickly reaching at its peak in 1943 more than 
 20\,000 people\, mostly pre-war police officers. The 'blue' police becam
 e the only militarized and armed Polish force which the Germans allowed 
 to continue in occupied Poland. From the very beginning of the occupatio
 n\, the Polish officers of the 'Blue' police were involved in the enforc
 ement of anti-Jewish measures and regulations introduced by the Germans.
  With time\, they became an important\, often indispensable\, element in
  the German machine of extermination of the Jews.\n
