From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obóz Polski Walczącej (OPW, Camp of Fighting Poland, or Fighting Poland Movement) was a minor part of the Polish resistance movement in World War II. Created in 1942-44 and centered in Warsaw[1], its members were mostly composed of the former political party, Obóz Zjednoczenia Narodowego (Camp of National Unity, or 'Ozon'), part of the Sanacja movement. Among the organizers of this movement was marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły, who proposed it's name, and Julian Piasecki[2][3], who became it's commandant. It was military subordinate to Armia Krajowa since 1943 and eventually merged with Konwent Organizacji Niepodległościowych (Convent of Indepdendence Organizations) into Zjedniczenie Organizacji Niepodległościowych (Union of Independence Organizations).
