The free Polish army in WW 2 was those polish soldiers who escaped after their country was overrun by the Nazis and the Soviets in September 1939. The fought in the battle of France and later the Battle of Britain. In addition, after the Soviet Union was invaded by Germany, many Soviet-held Polish POWs were allowed to join the Western allies . They were released on the border of the Soviet Union and Iran. They eventually constituted the fourth largest army of the Western Allies. There was other Polish divisions and Corps which were part of the Soviet Army which eventually invaded Germany. Contrary to the general ignorance of the Polish armies, Polish soldiers were the equal of the Germans up to the level of NCOs beginning Sept 1, 1939. They were of course, at a severe disadvantage in numbers of troops and numbers of quality of armaments. They were also at a disadvantage in the quality of their officers in comparison with Germans. Man for man the German soldier was considered the best . However, if one takes into account the German advantage at site of battles in the German invasion of Poland in 1939, the average Polish soldier inflicted more casaulties on their opponents than they suffered . So all the fools who continue to believe the Poles were stupid and attacked tanks with horse cavalry, I guarantee you , you would not want to fight Polish soldiers of WWII in any sort of equal contest. I have seen interviews of German troops who admitted the armies they feared the most as the war came closer and closer to the end were the Polish and of course, the Soviet troops.

What was resistance in world war 2?
There were several different resistance movements during WWII, the best noted were in France. Germany and Yugoslavia. The best organized were the French. who with better communication and Allied support were able to make a genuine contribution to the Western Allies in the Invasion of Europe. The White Rose Group was poorly supported, and Tito's efforts were generally ignored by the west as a part of a civil war or possible Communist effort. @UP ~What a disturbing lack of knowledge you posess. French resistance? Please don't joke around like that! Maybe you mean the Free French forces who were rather large by the most efficient, largest, and most organized UNDERGROUND ARMY(not even a simple resistance) was the Polish Home Army known by poles as the AK. Throughout the 5 years of brutal German occupation the Home Army conducted countless acts of sabotage and espionage. Most notably is the cracking of the German enigma codes, and the information given to the soviet union and the western allies about German troops deployements and positions. The British Intelligence which is proclaimed to be the best during world war 2 received 48% of their intelligence from polish sources. The Home Army also organized underground schools, hospitals, fighting forces, even newspapers. Whereas every nation conquered by the Nazis and even other nations had an SS unit formed in the German army, Poland was the only one that didn't. The Polish Home Army was BY FAR the most effective, organized, and largest resistance force in all of the nazi occupied territories. Unfortunately their amazing story is suppressed by the West because of the West's betrayal of Eastern Europe which is a topic for another day. And as for Free forces or any forces for that matter, Free Polish forces were the fourth largest fighting force on the side of the Allies in world war 2, After America, Britain, and the Soviet Union. Look up free polish forces in the east and the west. Most Notably the Polish 2nd Corps under General Wladyslaw Ander's command. In conclusion, the Polish Home Army was by far the best and most notable resistance in world war 2.
