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 officials as well as civilians. Nicknames such as "indomitable soldiers" were given by state propaganda after the fall of communism in the country. In 1947, the anti-communist underground was given an amnesty, after which some partisans continued guerilla warfare.
War crimes
The Polish anti-communist underground was involved in numerous war crimes, including the killing of minorities such as Belarusians, Jews, Ukrainians or Lithuanians, Polish communists and people sympathetic to Polish People's Republic and robbery:[1][clarification needed]
