Polish National Armed Forces (Narzut Armii Krajowej)

The Polish National Armed Forces, known as Armia Krajowa (AK), was the dominant resistance movement in Poland during World War II, fighting against Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945. It was a secret military organization composed of civilians, aiming to defend Polish sovereignty, gather intelligence, conduct sabotage, and prepare for national liberation. The AK operated clandestinely, coordinating underground activities while maintaining a network of armed units. It played a crucial role in resisting Nazi forces and supporting the broader Polish resistance effort, symbolizing patriotism and resilience during a period of occupation and turmoil.
