Created in 1939 by theWRN faction, since 1940 it was subordinated toZWZ (name changed toArmia Krajowa (AK) in 1942) with a degree of autonomy.

In 1944 Gwardia Ludowa WRN numbered about 42,000 people.^[1] It was disbanded in early 1945. Together with the Home Army or Armia Krajowa (AK) proper, the People's Guard WRN did try, and on a small scale succeeded (some remote areas only), in providing the Polish citizens with the PolishUnderground Police and court system independent from that of the Nazi German occupant. The main commander of the People's Guard WRN wasKazimierz Pużak.
