NIE ( resistance ) NIE , short for Niepodległość ( " Independence " ) , " NIE " means also " NO " in Polish - was a Polish anticommunist resistance organisation formed in 1943 .

Its commanders were Generals Leopold Okulicki and Emil August Fieldorf . One of the first members of the organisation was Witold Pilecki . Origins of the organization date back to the second half of 1943 , when on September 27 , the Polish government - in - exile stated that conspirational activities should be maintained during the possible Soviet occupation of the country . Organization , statutes and structure of NIE was created by high - ranking officers of the Home Army , and among those involved were General Tadeusz Komorowski , and Polish Commander in Chief , General Kazimierz Sosnkowski . Members of NIE were carefully selected , and ordered to break their ties with soldiers of the Home Army . In May 1944 , General Leopold Okulicki was named commander of NIE .

After these arrests , NIE was briefly commanded by Colonel Antoni Sanojca , who , with permission of General Wladyslaw Anders , dissolved it on May 7 , 1945 . According to its statutes , NIE was an organization aimed at long - term anti - Communist activities . It concentrated on self - defense , propaganda , and gathering information , also about the morale of soldiers of both the Red Army , and the Armia Ludowa . NIE did not plan any guerilla activity .

Once Abd - ar - Rahman III came to power , he was quick to assert his power and made it his goal to finish the rebels in Al - Andalus . He wanted to consolidate his power base and reestablish the internal order of the Emirate of Córdoba . He decided to go to the border and attack the cities that acted as a protective buffer against the Asturian / Leonese lands to the north . It was on this defensive line that he came upon Zamora . The city was strategically important because it was squarely in the path of march typically used by the Leonese troops . Abderraman attacked the city on August 5 , 939 . His strategy was to fill the pit , or moat around the city with bodies and debris so that his men could more easily climb the parapets and thus engage the defending soldiers directly . This bloodthirsty strategy lends its name to the battle which is sometimes known as the " Batalla del Foso de Zamora " ( Zamora ' s trench [ moat ] Battle ) . The final result was a victory for the troops of Abderramán III who conquered the city of Zamora . The actual occupation of the city however lasted less than one year , as the troops of Abderraman were defeated by Ramiro II of León in the Battle of Simancas in July of the same year , 939 .
