Arsenal Polish Underground Sources of acquisition of weapons by members of the Polish underground and guerrilla units were a few In the first period was the basis for equipment hidden by Polish soldiers in September 1939, or by leaving them on the battlefields. In many cases, gun repairs required due to poor security and the conditions in which they resided for several, several months, and often the damage done just before the disarmament (eg, removing and disposing of locks). The photos of the early conspiracy outweighs Mauser rifle system, light machine gun Browning wz. 28th Most were relatively small arms, easy to hide, and besides, in a number in front of the war, also in private hands. Also used a hunting weapon, as well as older, more pierwszowojenne copies, traced sometimes in homes and barns. On the eastern areas of the Second Republic was a complement to the resources of weapons left by the retreating equipment in a panic in June 1941 the Red Army. With time, an important part of the arsenal began to create the prey, including that generated in the specific disarmament actions. It came from the German (and other) members of various police organizations and police, civil servants of various departments and offices of the occupation, and finally the colonists, most of whom were armed. There were also weapons received numerous branches kolaboranckich soldiers recruited from Soviet citizens who had such Soviet weapons. Then he fed an underground arsenal of weapons captured in the regular German formations, both the Wehrmacht and the SS, especially when the front in 1944 approached the Polish and line the enemy units were "at hand". A certain number of weapons purchased on the black market - were especially handguns, but also from reaching the heavier weapons, including machine guns. As you come into the duration of the war, Polish, more and more (but never in sufficient quantities) to the discharge of weapons. Were especially desirable machine guns, which, in an irregular war, guerrilla, consisting largely of organizing ambushes, were of paramount importance. Strongly dominated by English Steny Mk II, and the pictures from 1944 can be seen even uniformly armed forces in these pistols. Much less was the American thompsonów M1928 A1. 45 inch, in a small amount dropped peemy UD 9 mm caliber M1942, also were placed individually raisingi. 45 cal. Among the heavier weapons Bren light machine gun should be mentioned, antitank guns, antitank grenade launchers Boys and PIAT, which proved to be extremely useful during the Warsaw Uprising. It is worth mentioning that among the dropping of arms They brought the weapons captured German and Italian (eg peemy Beretta). Finally, an important source of supply in the battle was the production of underground resources. Mass-produced grenades, especially sidolówki and Filipinki. Also built hundreds of flame-throwers, some of which were used during the Warsaw Uprising. The biggest challenge was, however, production of machine guns, requiring adequate technical facilities, materials, and finally experienced engineering staff. The most widely-produced copies of the British Sten Mk II, which were made in several factories in the country, besides, developed its own model peemu - Lightning. Apart from them should be mentioned KIS and KOP-PAL. The basis of course, was an underground arsenal of diverse arms and grenades, but incidentally also used heavy equipment. This occurred during the fighting in Warsaw during the uprising, where he captured armored vehicles in addition to built a car of his own invention - "Winnie".
