Cichociemni were the elite of the Polish Armed Forces in the West. They were trained
in Great Britain to operate in occupied Poland and were ready for any sacrifice for the
Fatherland. Despite the fact that over 2600 candidates volunteered for training and served
only 316 of them were parachuted into occupied Poland. The article raises the issue of
psychological traits of Cichociemny. The current literature on the subject focuses mainly
on aspects of physical training, marginalizes an issue of personality and temperament.
Today, the problem exists in the currently recruitment process of a modern soldier of the
special forces. From the perfect soldier, popularly called the commandos, is expected not
to only excellent physical fitness, but also appropriate psychological predispositions as
self efficacy, commitment and sacrifice. According to the analysis of documents from the
period of activity of Cichociemni these traits were also important then as today. It allows
to put the thesis of the psychological profile of the ideal warrior, regardless of the time
and place.
