NSZ (Narodowe Siły Zbrojne)

Narodowe Siły Zbrojne (NSZ) was a Polish underground military organization active during World War II, primarily opposing both Nazi Germany and Soviet forces. Formed in 1942, it aimed to restore Poland's independence through armed resistance and national liberation efforts. The NSZ operated clandestinely, engaging in guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and protecting Polish communities. Its members were motivated by strong patriotic and nationalist beliefs. After the war, the organization was dissolved, but its legacy remains controversial due to its early anti-communist stance and allegations of involvement in certain wartime conflicts, reflecting complex aspects of Poland’s wartime history.
