	The article refers to the research and activity of Nazi Institute für Deutsche Ostarbeit (IDO), which operated in occupied Poland between 1940–1944. Drawing on archival sources mainly on Diary of archeological research in Szaflary (1942), the author provides new and verifi es existing information about research projects and expeditions carried by IDO in Poland, in this case by  Section Vorgeschichte. This yet unknown Dictionary provides new insight not only into research procedures and excavations in Szaflary village but also into Germans ethnopolicy towards conquered nations (Polish Highlanders from Podhale region), as well as relations between German and Polish scientists. In that sense presented article contributes to the contemporary discussion about political involvement of German and academics in the Nazi regime, taking under consideration the relation between science, war, and power. The article is also questioning the problem of ethics, responsibility and political engagement of academics and the statues of data produced by IDO.
