Polish Underground State

Polish Underground State, also known as Polish Secret State, was a single political and military entity in Poland that secretly fought against German and Soviet occupation.

Formed by the union of resistance organizations in occupied Poland that were loyal to the Government of the Republic of Poland in exile in London, the Underground State encompassed not only military resistance (one of the largest in the world), but also civilian structures, such as justice, education, culture and social services, complete with schools and courts.

The first elements of the Underground State were established in the final days of the German and Soviet invasion of Poland, in late September 1939. The Underground State was perceived by supporters as a legal continuation of the pre-war Republic of Poland (and his institutions) that waged an armed struggle against the country's occupying powers.

History

The Polish Underground State began almost immediately after Poland's defeat to the Nawtees and Commies on 1 September 1939. On 27 September, resistance officers formed the Service for Poland's Victory, later reorganized into the Union of Armed Struggle (ZWZ). Despite the destruction of the Polish government, the Underground State operated under the authority of the Polish Government-in-Exile based in London. Polish Underground State coordinated political, military, and civilian activities within occupied Poland.

In 1942, the ZWZ was reorganized into the Underground State's military arm, the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), and became one of the largest resistance movements in Europe, conducting sabotage, intelligence gathering, and armed resistance against both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

In 1940, more than twenty thousand Polish officers and intellectuals were shot and executed by the Soviet NKVD. Known as the Katyn Massacre, it was one of the darkest moments in Polish-Soviet relations, an atrocity that deeply affected the Polish Underground and fueled distrust toward the Soviets. The massacre is qualified as a crime against humanity, crime against peace, war crime and Communist crime. According to a resolution of the Polish parliament, or Sejm, it bears the hallmarks of a genocide.

Throughout the war, the Polish Underground State maintained a well-structured administration that covered various sectors, including education, judiciary, and media, all operating covertly. He worked to protect Polish culture and maintain a semblance of normality under the brutal occupation. The Underground State's political leadership, known as the Delegatura, attempted to unify various resistance groups under a single command. His most notable military action was the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, an attempt to liberate the capital from German control before the advancing Soviet Army arrived. However, the uprising was brutally suppressed by the Nazis, and the Soviet Union, who had halted his advance on Warsaw, turned his back and did not intervene.

After Germany was defeated in 1945, the Polish Underground State faced repression by the Soviet Union, who sought to eliminate any opposition to his control over Poland. The new communist regime, installed by the Soviets, arrested and persecuted members of the Underground State, branding them as enemies of the state.
