Ruch Oporu Armii Krajowej Freedom and Independence Association The
Freedom and Independence Association (, or
WiN) was a Polish underground
anticommunist organisation founded on September 2, 1945, and active until 1952.
National Armed Forces The
National Armed Forces (
NSZ;
Polish: Narodowe Siły Zbrojne) was a Polish right-wing underground military organization of the
National Democracy operating from 1942 until 1947. During
World War II, NSZ troops fought against
Nazi Germany and
communist partisans. In March 1944, the NSZ split, with one faction coming under the command of the
Home Army while the other part became known as the NSZ-ZJ (the Lizard Union). This branch of the NSZ conducted operations against Polish
communist activists,
partisans and secret police, the
Soviet partisans,
NKVD and
SMERSH, and their own (NSZ) former leaders. During the war, the NSZ fought the Polish communists, including their military organizations such as the
Gwardia Ludowa (GL) and the
Armia Ludowa (AL). After the war, former NSZ members were persecuted by the newly installed communist government of the
Polish People's Republic. Reportedly, communist partisans engaged in planting false evidence, such as documents and forged receipts at the sites of their own robberies, in order to blame the NSZ. It was a method of political warfare practiced against the NSZ also by the
Ministry of Public Security of Poland and
Milicja Obywatelska (MO) right after the war, as revealed by communist Poland's court documents. In 1992, acknowledging its contribution to the fight for Poland's sovereignty, Polish authorities recognized National Armed Forces underground soldiers as war veterans. The Polish Parliament
Sejm passed a bill in 2012 commemorating the 70th anniversary of the creation of
Narodowe Siły Zbrojne in 1942. Members of the Sejm who supported the resolution pointed out that NSZ members became the most obstinate
target of repressions and hate propaganda by security apparatus under
Stalinism. •
