- Abstract
This article deals with gauging Polish civil resistance within Nazi-occupied Generalgouvernement Poland in 1939-1945--specifically, better understanding the role and impact of the Directorate of Civil Resistance (Kierownictwo Walki Cywilnej, KWC) and the Directorate of Underground Struggle (Kierownictwo Walki Podziemnej, KWP), the two bodies of the Polish Underground State legally controlled by the Polish government-in-exile. Examined are both bodies' core and field structures, make up, and regulations and activities. Particular attention is given to the underground administration of justice and the Judicial Commissions of Civilian Struggle. The article is based on KWC and KWP archival documentation, underground literature, and the personal memoirs/reminiscences of those involved in the organizations (among them those of former KWC head, Stefan Korboński).
