Armia Krajowa

Armia Krajowa, or the Home Army, was the main military force of the Polish resistance during World War II. Established in 1942, it operated under the Polish government-in-exile and aimed to resist German occupation. The Home Army conducted sabotage operations, gathered intelligence, and prepared for an uprising to liberate Poland. Its most notable action was the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, where it fought against Nazi forces but ultimately faced severe repression. The Armia Krajowa played a crucial role in Polish efforts to regain sovereignty and is remembered for its bravery and sacrifice in the fight for freedom.
