Armia Ludowa
Armia Ludowa (AL, pronounced [ˈarmja luˈdɔva]; English: the People's Army) was a communist partisan force set up by the communist Polish Workers' Party (PPR) during World War II. It was created by order of the Polish State National Council on 1 January 1944. Its aims were to fight against Nazi Germans in occupied Poland, support the Soviet military against the German forces and to aid in the creation of a pro-Soviet Union communist government in Poland.
Along with the National Armed Forces, it was one of the military resistance organizations that refused to join the structures of the Polish Underground State or its military arm, the Home Army. The People's Army was much smaller than the Home Army, but propaganda in communist Poland espoused the myth that the reverse was the case.
Background
In 1939, 17 days after the German invasion, the Soviet Union also invaded Poland. There was no formal declaration of war by either side. The Polish Government fled to London, and maintained contacts with its representatives in occupied Poland, the Polish Underground State. In 1943, the Soviet Union broke off the diplomatic relations with the London Polish government-in-exile.
