Cursed soldiers or indomitable soldiers (Polish: żołnierze wyklęci, niezłomni) were anti-communist fighters in post-World War II Poland. Their target were mostly Soviet and Polish bureaucrats, as well as civilians. Nicknames such as „indomitable soldiers” were given by state propaganda after the fall of communism in the country. In 1947, anti-communist underground was given an amnesty, after which some partisans continued guerilla warfare.
