Armed Forces Delegation for Poland
The Armed Forces Delegation for Poland was a Polish anticommunist resistance organization formed on May 7, 1945 by the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, General Władysław Anders, as a continuation of the NIE organization subordinate to the Government Delegation for Poland which in turn was an agency of the Polish Government in Exile. Its purpose was to oppose the Soviet occupation of Poland. It was dissolved on August 8, 1945.
The Delegation was commanded by Colonel Jan Rzepecki who selected as his deputy Colonel Janusz Bokszczanin. Its internal structure was based on that of the Home Army. After its formal dissolution, a new anti-Communist organization was created: Freedom and Independence.
The Armed Forces Delegation for Poland was divided into three areas:
- Central, covering the districts of Warsaw, Lublin, Kielce, Białystok and Łódź,
- Western, covering the districts of Bydgoszcz, Poznań, Gdańsk, Szczecin and Olsztyn,
- Southern, covering the districts of Kraków, Rzeszów, Katowice and Wrocław.
