This monument is dedicated to home army during 1939 – 1945. It is based on decorative block of granite next to building which is part of the Gdansk University on the crossing of Armii Krajowej and 1-go Maja Street. It was erected in 1998.

The failed September campaign in 1939 and the division of Poland into two occupied zones, German and Soviet, did not break the will of the Polish people to continue its fight for freedom. In Warsaw, before the surrender, a secret military organization was set up with the approval of the Supreme Commander, who was already in Romania. General Michael Karszewicz-Tokarzewski took command and gave it the name "Służba Zwycięstwu Polski" (Service for Poland's Victory), or "SZP". In addition, both in Warsaw and in other places in the country, many other secret groups sprang up. Some were organized by army officers, who had avoided being taken prisoner, others were initiated by groups from political parties or by groups of friends. During the years 1939-1941, the main efforts of the ZWZ were directed towards organizational work preparing for later military action. During this period a large number of the independent military groups, that had sprung up after September 1939, were incorporated into ZWZ. At the same time ZWZ was fighting the occupants on three fronts: propaganda, reconnaissance and sabotage.

After the fall of France in June 1940, the Polish Government moved to London and established the Supreme Command of the ZWZ in Poland. Gen. Rowecki, in Warsaw, was appointed Commander-in-Chief, to be solely in charge of military matters. At the government-in-exile a Ministerial Committee for Homeland Affairs was set up. Authority in Poland was thus split between military and civil. The position of Chief Government Delegate was established to be in charge of political and administrative affairs in Poland, who was to deal with political matters in consultation with the party representatives in the Political Coordinating Committee.

Towards the end of 1943, the government-in-exile in London and the underground government at home make a decision. As the Germans retreat under Soviet pressure, the Home Army will increase its armed fight against them.

After the Soviet armies occupied the remainder of western Poland, based on a decision of the President of Poland (in London), Gen. Okulicki issued an order closing down the Home Army on January 19, 1945. On March 26, 1945, the Chief Delegate Jan Stanisław Jankowski, chairman of the Council of National Unity Kazimierz Puzak and Gen. Okulicki were invited to a meeting with Soviet authorities and were arrested. Transported to Moscow, they were tried with a group of 16 other leaders of the Polish Underground and imprisoned. After the arrests, the director of Internal Affairs in the Delegatura, Stefan Korbonski (Labor Party representative) took over the function of Chief Delegate. On July 1, 1945 the Council of National Unity decided to close the Delegatura and disband itself. By this act the activities of the Polish Underground State came to an end.
