SOLDIERS OF FREEDOM - Home Army - Armia Krajowa - Heimatarmee - AK
The Armia Krajowa (abbreviated AK), or Home Army, was the dominant Polish resistance movement in World War II German-occupied Poland. It was formed from the Związek Walki Zbrojnej (Union for Armed Struggle). Over the next years (after 1939) it absorbed most other Polish underground forces. It was loyal to the Polish government in exile and constituted the armed wing of what became known as the "Polish Underground State". Estimates of its membership in 1944 range from 200000 to 600000, with the most common number being 380000 - 400000 soldiers; the AK was the largest underground resistance movement in Europe during World War II, who fought against the Nazis and Communists. The three portraits in this movie are some courageous soldiers of the AK: 1. Anatol Radziwonik ps. "Stary", 2. Tadeusz Ludas ps. "Sokoł", 3. Stefan Rowecki ps. "Grot".
