The Silent Unseen

Silent and unseen, dropping into occupied homeland

The Cichociemni were an elite formation of Home Army soldiers trained in Britain and airlifted into occupied Poland between 1941 and 1944. A total of 316 soldiers parachuted into the country, conducting sabotage, intelligence operations, and training the armed underground. They became a legend of Polish resistance — elusive, uncompromising, devoted to Poland to the last.
