National Council of the Home Army (Krajowa Rada)

The National Council of the Home Army (Krajowa Rada) was a leadership body of Poland’s underground resistance during World War II, specifically for the Home Army (Armia Krajowa). It coordinated strategic planning, decision-making, and communication among various underground units fighting against occupying forces. Acting as a central authority, it helped organize sabotage, intelligence gathering, and preparations for potential national independence. The Council ensured unified efforts across different regions and contributed to Poland’s resistance movement, playing a crucial role in maintaining underground governance and resistance activities during the Nazi occupation.
