| Introduction |
During World War II, the Polish Special Forces played a significant role in the broader Allied effort against the Axis powers. After the fall of Poland in 1939, many Polish soldiers and resistance fighters continued their struggle against occupation, forming specialized units that operated across Europe. These forces, including the elite Cichociemni (“The Silent Unseen”), the Polish Independent Parachute Brigade, and the Home Army’s (Armia Krajowa) Kedyw unit, were involved in a wide range of activities such as sabotage, intelligence gathering, and guerrilla warfare. Their contributions were crucial in various operations, demonstrating their skill, determination, and commitment to the cause. The efforts of these units during the war reflect a key aspect of Poland’s resistance and the broader struggle for freedom in Europe.
