the Hubal partisans


Explanation:
"The book, entitled Hubalczycy (The Hubal Partisans) made legendary the name of Major Henryk "Hubal" Dobrzanski who led a courageous, ill-fated guerilla action against the German occupying forces in the early months of the war."
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~atpc/herit...
"The Hubal partisans have earned a place in the hearts of the Polish people and their tale is just becoming known in the English speaking world. The story of Major Henryk "Hubal" Dobrzanski and his men in their desperate fight against the Nazis led to their immortalization in Melchior Wankowicz's 1946 novel Hubalczycy (The Hubal Partisans).
