– The environment of the Confederation of the Nation, as well as the Shocked Personnel Battalions, came in a sense from the pre-war National-Radical Movement. Already in 1942, it formulated a program that said that in the face of the communist threat, a Polish partisan should be created in the east Borders in order to displace the hostile russian partisan from them. KN members felt that the Soviets were not an ally of our allies, but in relation to Poland they are a mortal enemy," explains historian Dr. Kazimierz Krajewski, author of the album "Life and Death for Poland".
The seeds of the Shocking Personnel Battalions were created in the Warsaw underground environment. From 1942 to 1943, 8 were created, but not all of them achieved the degree of organization and armament so that they could be directed to guerrilla battles. The branches whose origins were formed in the capital were to be moved into an area where, after establishing contacts and complementing the warehouses of volunteers from the local population, they would take up the fight against the occupier. east areas of the Republic were selected for their activities. On 17 August 1943, KN military troops were ordered by General Tadeusz Komorowski (ps. “Bór”) incorporated into the AK. The unitary order subjected troops operating in Bialystok district, and prepared to go into the field he placed at the disposal of the territory of Novgorodek. shortly almost all of the Strike Battalions were moved to the area of Novgorod.
Partisans forming UBK fought both invaders – Germans and Soviets. The impacted Kadrowe Battalions passed a long conflict way – from Warsaw, Podlasie, Białystok, East Prussia, Lithuania to Novgorod and Vilnius. The Confederates participated in Operation “The Sharp Gate” and besides fought in the Warsaw Uprising.
