National Independent Home Army

The National Independent Home Army was a Polish resistance organization active during World War II, primarily focused on defending Polish homes and communities against invading forces. It operated independently of larger military units, emphasizing local, grassroots efforts to safeguard civilians, gather intelligence, and carry out sabotage against occupying armies. Its members were often volunteers committed to protecting their neighborhoods and maintaining Polish sovereignty amidst the war's chaos. The organization played a key role in fostering national resilience, while working covertly under difficult conditions to resist occupation and support the broader Polish resistance movement.
