The first elements of the Underground State were established in the final days of the German invasion of Poland that began in September 1939. The Underground State was perceived by supporters as a legal continuation of the pre-war Republic of Poland (and its institutions) that waged an armed struggle against the country's occupying powers: Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The Underground State encompassed not only military resistance, one of the largest in the world, but also civilian structures, such as education, culture and social services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully Embroidered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/polish-home-army-anchor-kotwica-t-shirt\"\u003eCheck out the Kotwica T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/kotwica\"\u003eKotwica Morale Patch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponized.design\/products\/vinyl-decals\"\u003eVinyl Decal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Morale Patch","offer_id":7040757628994,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/products\/armia-krajowa.jpg?v=1595441816"},{"product_id":"holy-cross-brigade","title":"Holy Cross Brigade (Brygada Świętokrzyska)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe design was hatched, developed and produced after numerous discussions with (IMO) historians and researchers who had relatives in the brigade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary By Al Rayski\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brigade was one of the military units of the Polish political NSZ \/ ZJ organization, one of many Polish underground organizations during the war. The main objectives of the NSZ military units during the occupation were: 1) to protect the population from harm at the hands of the occupants as much as possible 2) to pursue and eliminate the collaborators and criminal elements that were taking advantage of the situation in the occupied country 3) to eradicate communist influences and communist (including Soviet) bands of plunderers tormenting Polish villages 4) to keep morale high in the population in preparation for the time when its determination supported by ZJ’s massive military action would most benefit Poland’s national interests. Gathering intelligence for the Allies was also an important aspect of ZJ activities. The Brigade was formed in August 1944 from some smaller units in the region. At its inception, the Brigade was about 850 personnel. Poorly armed, it was completely dependent on ambushes for arms and the populace for sustenance. The Brigade was organized as two Regiments, with appropriate battalions, companies, and staff. The name of the Brigade was taken from the mountain range near where the unit was formed, just east of the city of Kielce . After forming, the Brigade fought against both the Soviet occupiers and those from Germany, engaging in a dozen battles with only minor losses to themselves. When the red army started their offensive in mid-January 1945, the Brigade was ordered to withdraw to the west, hoping to meet up with the US Army and then to join other Polish forces fighting with the allies. The Brigade marched over 800 km through the dead of winter, crossing the Sudeten Mountains into Czechoslovakia with the eastern front chasing them. Along the way, they still had to fight both the Germans and Russians. They finally wound up southeast of Pilsen, where they liberated a women’s concentration camp (Holysov) and met up with Patton’s Third Army and fought alongside them the last few days of the war. To my knowledge, the Brigade is the only Polish unit to escape Poland. After the war, the Russians tried to have the Brigade, or at least its leadership extradited for anti-communist activities, but were refused by the US commanders on the scene. At least a few of the Brigade members were kidnapped and never heard from again. After the war, the Brigade was relocated to Coburg Germany and became the basis of the US guard companies in Germany so the US could start bringing its troops home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal sources: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Holy_Cross_Mountains_Brigade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBrygada Świętokrzyska - Learn more here (wikipedia)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5x3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook backing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine woven for amazing detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Texas 144.1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7074438250562,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/3841\/7986\/products\/holy-cross-brigade-3.jpg?v=1644348759"},{"product_id":"lizard-union","title":"Lizard Union (WWII Polish Resistance)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilitary Organization.

The division twice suffered serious bombings by Allied aircraft which accidentally bombed friendly troops, but yet it achieved a victory against the Wehrmacht in the battles for Mont Ormel, and the town of Chambois. This series of offensive and defensive operations came to be known as the Battle of Falaise in which a large number of German Wehrmacht and SS divisions were trapped in the Falaise pocket and subsequently destroyed. Maczek’s division had the crucial role of closing the pocket at the escape route of those German divisions, hence the fighting was absolutely desperate and the 2nd Polish Armoured Regiment, 24th Polish Lancers and 10th Dragoons supported by the 8th and 9th Infantry Battalions took the brunt of German attacks trying to break free from the pocket. Surrounded and running out of ammunition they withstood incessant attacks from multiple fleeing panzer divisions for 48 hours until they were relieved. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/weaponsandwarfare.com\/2016\/06\/20\/1st-polish-armoured-division\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eLearn More...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polish 1st Armoured Division (Dywizja Pancerna) was an armoured division of the Polish Armed Forces in the West during World War II.
