It is good for them because:
1) They don’t have to depend on the Germans to deliver the weaponry
2) They have their own weapons to fight against attacking countries
3) Lastly it is a way to keep themselves safe from others

It would be quite accurate to call it  an underground country, as all the primarily polish institutions were kept underground. They were also busy with preparations for the moment they'll be able to strike back and get the control over their country back. The existance of this undergound state kept people's morales high and encuraged even the younger citizens to fight for their country the way they could. ]]> 2020-06-17 16:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_hale/3sum1otlb3r9/wish/630881801 Chirag A. https://padlet.com/lindsay_hale/3sum1otlb3r9/wish/631046882 One of the most vital ways through which citizens showed resistance was the Polish Secret Stare which operated secretly underground in order to avoid any Soviet and Nazi threat. This was important since they taught children stuff which the occupiers disallowed and boosted the Polish citizens' morale. Moreover, they had an army which had the goal to get rid of the occupiers and this alone, contributed to the war effort largely.
Another example of civil disobedience was shown through Witold Pilecki who created a whole underground network in the Nazi concentration camps. He sacrificed himself and gave signs and confidential information about the brutal and immoral treatment of people in the concentration camps. This helped and showed the Allies as to how to act and solve this on going issue. Lastly, it increased awareness throughout the world about the horrible treatment by the Nazis.]]> 2020-06-17 18:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_hale/3sum1otlb3r9/wish/631046882
