Republic of Pińczów (Polish:Republika Pińczowska;German:Bandenverseuchtes Gebiet) was a name of short-lived entity inŚwiętokrzyskie Voivodeship liberated by joint forces of Polish Resistance formations:Home Army,People's Army andPeasants' Battalions, during a period from July 21 to August 12, 1944.[1][2] Power in the Republic belonged to delegate ofPolish Government in Exile and local commander of the Home Army Forces. There was also a separate authority for the communist forces which did not recognize the London-based government-in-exile. The Republic collapsed due to concentration ofWehrmacht nearby and lack of supplies. The anniversary of the creation of the Pińczów Republic is commemorated by local Polish authorities.[3]
