1. Begin and the anders army
Jonathan ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.06)
The late Menachem Begin was not an officer in the Anders army, but was a rank and file soldier. He also did not see action while serving with this army, which was itself riddled with anti-semitism
2. Jewish Underground

The only Polish undergound units that accepted Jews were Communists, who then later, when Poland became a Soviet satelite, showed their true Jew-hating character.

?? Did you know that the secret police (not only) was full of Jews? They were perfect servant to communist terror (vide Solomon Morel, a butcher, who's wanted by Polish police, but found his shelter in.... Israel).
