After Poland's official underground army (AK) of World War II disbanded in 1945, thousands of Poles continued to fight in other formations against the imposition of communism as the Soviet Red Army extended its grip across the country.

On Wednesday events commemorating the soldiers will be held around the country, with the participation of top officials including Polish president Andrzej Duda. (rg)
