Freedom and Independence
After the Home Army was disbanded in January 1945, Malessa joined the anti-communist resistance organization NIE. After NIE ceased in May 1945, she was a member of the leadership committee of another anti-communist movement, Freedom and Independence (WiN). In late 1945, she expressed the desire to leave the organization. While she was in the process of being officially discharged, she was arrested by the Communist secret police (UB) who had managed to penetrate the organization's ranks.
