Anti-communist resistance in Poland can be divided into two types: the armed
Narodowe Siły Zbrojne soldiers, which ended in the late 1950s (see cursed soldiers),[1] and the non-violent, civil resistance struggle that culminated in the creation and victory of the Solidarity trade union
.
Armed resistance
- Cursed soldiers

Freedom and Independence Association
The
anticommunist organisation founded on September 2, 1945 and active until 1952.[2]
National Armed Forces
The
partisans and secret police, the Soviet partisans, NKVD and SMERSH, and their own (NSZ) former leaders.[4]
During the war, the NSZ fought the Polish communists, including their military organizations such as the Ministry of Public Security of Poland and Milicja Obywatelska (MO) right after the war, as revealed by communist Poland's court documents.[6] Members of the NSZ, like other "cursed soldiers", and their families were persecuted during the postwar Stalinist period. In the fall of 1946, 100-200 soldiers of an NSZ unit under the command of Henryk Flame, nom de guerre "Bartek," were lured into a trap and massacred by communist military and police forces.[7]
In 1992, acknowledging its contribution to the fight for Poland's sovereignty, Polish authorities recognized National Armed Forces underground soldiers as war veterans. The Polish Parliament
