The Republic of Poland was a country located in Eastern Europe. In 1962, its former territories are controlled by the General Governorate of the Vistula, the Greater Germanic Reich, Reichskommissariat Ukraine and Reichskommissariat Ostland.
History[]
Poland achieved its independence following the end of the First World War and successfully invaded and annexed parts of the Soviet Union four years later. Poland was the first nation to be invaded by Germany during the Second World War.
Poland fought back valiantly, but were overrun by German and Soviet forces by October 1939. The Polish government escaped to the West and some Polish army and air forces survived and fought alongside the allies.
Eventually London fell to Germany and with it the Polish government was destroyed. However, the Polish nation was not completely stamped out. A group of Polish exiles managed to make it into Kazakhstan and are still represented in the government of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. In addition, within the General Government, the Polish Underground State continues to function and are preparing to revolt once Germany isn't able to stop them. Poland is not yet lost.
In-game[]
At the start of the German Civil War, the Polish Underground State will revolt against the General Governorate, a war that it is almost guaranteed to win. After victory, either the Polish Home Army, Polish People's Army or National Armed Forces will take over the country, though none of them will be able to implement their vision for Poland before the Reich comes knocking.
