Army of the Polish Government in Exile

The Army of the Polish Government in Exile was the official military force formed by Poland’s government-in-exile during World War II, after Poland was occupied by Germany and the Soviet Union. Operating from abroad, primarily London, it continued resistance against Axis forces, supported the Polish resistance within occupied Poland, and coordinated with Allied Allies. This army symbolized Poland's sovereignty and patriotic resistance despite being unable to govern physically within occupied territory. It played a crucial role in military operations like the Battle of Britain and the Warsaw Uprising, representing Poland’s persistent fight for independence during the war.
