[edit] Old talk

I'm currently working on a whole series of articles covering both armed and political struggle of Poland in World War II. This is going to be the main article of the whole series, with short description of what the Secret State was, how it was formed and what happened to it. This article will also cover the political structure of both the Polish Government in Exile and its country-based branches (including the secret parliament). The main navbox would include links to the following:

• a list of political parties and their military branches
• Underground courts, tribunals and police
• Underground teaching - secret universities, colleges and military schools
• Underground press and media
• symbols of the Secret State
• a list of related topics and related reading

It might take several days to complete this project. Please be so kind as to leave this article as it is for now, I promise to let everybody know as soon as it is ready. [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 00:02, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

Another question is whether this page should be here (as Karski suggests) or at Polish Underground State (as per Władysław Bartoszewski)? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 03:04, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Split

This article will soon be expanded and/or splitted into several subarticles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Poland/Periodization. I am not sure which should be the state page and which should be the history page article, though... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:36, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

Any particular reason the last sentence of the introduction trails off like that? --Astronouth7303 03:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Not any I can think of. Perhaps we should ask Halibutt, who was the last editor - it do seems like he just forgot to finish the edit?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GL and AL

GL and AL weren't parts of the secret state, they killed or denounced hundreds of Polish activists. They should be removed from this article.

The article ignore Polish underground adminstration. Xx236 09:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] it is used to refer to all underground resistance organizations in Poland during World War II, both military and civilian.

By whom? The Polish article defines the Secret State and the English one doesn't even mention that definition. Xx236 09:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OPW (Obòz Polski Walczącej)

I need to verify an archival reference, possibly for use in this or other articles, to an underground (?) organization called Obòz Polski Walczącej (OPZ), active in Nazi-occupied Poland. Searches in the English-language and Polish Wikipedias have been inconclusive; a search via Google yielded only Polish-language sites I'm unable to read.

Request fullfilled :) -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  15:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does this secret state have a name?

Does this secret state have a name? I would like to know this. Jelleh 30 00:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it had any 'official' name other than those given in the article. In many regards it was the legal continuation of Second Polish Republic, but underground and with parts of the governement in exile.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  01:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spamlist issue

Please add de:Polnischer Untergrundstaat to the article, the Spam Protection Filter won´t allow me to save. -- Robertberlin 23:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. - Evv 04:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
