Operation Tempest

By the autumn of 1943 it was becoming obvious that it would be the Russians who would liberate Poland. How should the AK plan for this increasingly likely contingency? On 27 October the Government-in-Exile issued two sets of instructions to General Bór:

I.

If by any chance Soviet–Polish diplomatic relations were restored, then the Poles would carry out ‘intensified sabotage-diversion operations’ (given the name of ‘Operation Burza’ or ‘Tempest’) behind the German front in collaboration and liaison with the Red Army.

II.

However, ‘Should diplomatic relations remain severed’, the Home Army was still to carry out the Burza Plan but ‘with the one difference that the administrative authorities and the armed forces should remain underground and await further decisions from the Polish Government’.

[Bór-Komorowski, pp. 175–6]
