The Second Republic (from history of Poland) --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! Attempts to pass on Pilsudski's mantle to the new commander in chief, Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz, were unsuccessful, as was the artificial creation of a governmental party—the Camp of National Unity.

NorthwestPoland.org-Poland After his death (1935), Marshall Edward Rydz-Smigly assumed control, and under a new constitution (1935) parliament became a tool of the governing clique (“the colonels”). Gomulka was ousted and replaced by Edward Gierek, who sought, with some success, to ease the living conditions of the average citizen.

Josef Beck, Poland attempted to steer a course among the powers of Europe (especially Germany and the USSR) by following a pragmatic policy of balance. www.northwestpoland.org /poland.html   (4042 words)

A , when news reached Warsaw of the Munich decision early in the morning of September 30, Beck consulted with the commander-in-chief, Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz (1886-1941) and the chief of staff, General Waclaw Stachiewicz (1894-1973), on whether Polish armed forces should prepare for war in case Czechoslovakia refused to accept the Munich agreement.

The Institute of World Politics > News & Publication > Pragmatism and Sympathy: Franco and East-Central Europe, 1939-1955 President Moscicki had to contend for power not only with the powerful Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz but also other important Sanacja figures. He never achieved the stature of a "royal dictator." To call him a fascist shows how lamentably unknown the history of Poland has been among the rank-and-file historians of various European countries.
