Republic of Pińczów (pl|Republika Pińczowska; de|Bandenverseuchtes Gebiet) was a name of short-lived entity in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship liberated by joint forces of Polish Resistance formations: Home Army, People's Army and Peasants' Battalions, during a period from July 21 to August 12, 1944.[1] [2] Power in the Republic belonged to delegate of Polish 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 of Wehrmacht nearby and lack of supplies. The anniversary of the creation of the Pińczów Republic is commemorated by local Polish authorities.[3]
