The article presents an outline of actions of the Polish resistance movement in occupied France. Particular attention has been given to soldiers and partisans who, prior to the invasion of allied forces on the European continent, performed heroic deeds demonstrating bravery and courage of a Polish soldier. The liberation struggles of the Polish nation in the past war are a still lively subject that focuses the attention of both historians and the society. The Polish participation in the liberation of France, especially through the activities of the Polish resistance movement as part of the operation under the codename “Continental Action”, is the main subject of this article.

The Polish intelligence was active on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia in the years 1941–1943. It operated under the guise of humanitarian help for Polish refugees in Croatia and Serbia (Continental Action). The main headquarters of this cell of Continental Action were located in the cities of Split and Crikvenica. Since 1942 the Polish intelligence in Croatia worked as part of a group called “Lidia.”

As part of the Continental Action, Colonel Jan Kowalewski conducted activities that could get: Italy, Romania and Hungary out of the Axis. It was an activity known and supported by the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs and the British side which financed it. The operation’s center was placed in neutral Lisbon. With regard to Romania, Colonel Kowalewski had special opportunities to act – as a former Polish military attaché in Bucharest. He was in touch with various groups of Romanian politicians, emigres, the local opposition and the government spheres. The Polish proposals included the offer of post-war federation of Central European countries. The conditions for capitulation at the front were also set. The activities of Colonel Kowalewski were interrupted by the decision of the British authorities in early 1944, who were afraid of the Soviet authorities’ reaction to the attempt to create a bloc of European countries based on anti-communist rule.

W ramach Akcji Kontynentalnej ppłk Jan Kowalewski prowadził działania mogące wydostać (wyprowadzić) z sojuszu z III Rzeszą: Włochy, Rumunię i Węgry. Była to działalność znana i popierana przez polskie Ministerstwo Spraw Wewnętrznych oraz stronę brytyjską, która ją finansowała. Centrala operacji znajdowała się w neutralnej Lizbonie. W odniesieniu do Rumunii ppłk Kowalewski miał szczególne możliwości działania – jako były attaché wojskowy RP w Bukareszcie. Docierał do różnych ugrupowań rumuńskich polityków, emigracji, opozycji krajowej i sfer rządowych. Propozycje polskie zawierały ofertę powojennej federacji państw Europy Środkowej. Ustalano warunki kapitulacji na froncie. Działalność ppłk. Kowalewskiego została przerwana na początku 1944 r. decyzją władz brytyjskich, które obawiały się reakcji władz sowieckich na próbę utworzenia bloku państw europejskich na bazie antykomunistycznej.
