Gwardia Ludowa WRN


Gwardia Ludowa WRN was a part of the Polish resistance movement in World War II. Created in 1939 by the WRN faction, since 1940 it was subordinated to ZWZ with a degree of autonomy.
In 1944 Gwardia Ludowa WRN numbered about 42,000 people. It was disbanded in early 1945.
Together with the Home Army or Armia Krajowa proper, the People's Guard "Freedom Equality Independence" did try, and on a small scale succeeded, in providing the Polish citizens with the Polish Underground Police and court system independent from that of the Nazi German occupant. The civilian head of the Gwardia Ludowa WRN was Kazimierz Puzak.
