Polska Armia Krajowa

Polska Armia Krajowa (Home Army) was the primary resistance organization in Poland during World War II, operating from 1939 to 1945. It was a secret military force constituted of Polish soldiers and civilians committed to resisting German and Soviet occupation. The Home Army conducted sabotage, intelligence gathering, and preparations for an eventual insurrection to restore Polish independence. Despite facing overwhelming odds, it played a crucial role in maintaining Polish national identity and contributed to the broader Allied efforts, notably participating in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Its existence exemplifies Poland's resilience and dedication to sovereignty during a tumultuous period.
