Home Army
The Home Army (Armia Krajowa) was the main Polish underground resistance organisation during World War II, operating on Polish territories occupied by Germany and subordinate to the Polish government-in-exile in London. It coordinated military and civilian resistance structures and was the largest such movement in occupied Europe. After the war it was dissolved by the Soviet-imposed authorities, and many of its members faced persecution in communist Poland.
