The ZWZ/AK “Walentyna” unit operated in the larger part of the pre-war district of Orzechowce. It was a typical self-government district for the regions of Przemyśl and Dobromil, inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians (Ruthenians) and Jews. Owing to the fact that some Ukrainians had engaged in collaboration with the Germans, the Polish underground resistance movement in this area basically had two enemies, i.e. the Germans and Ukrainian nationalists, and later also the Soviets. This article discusses the conditions and the conspiracy activity of the ZWZ/AK organization in the district, as well as the actions carried out in the period under discussion. The text also attempts to show the reasons for a retaliatory and preventive action which took place in Małkowice, one of the villages of that unit after its dissolution in 1945.
