摘要

摘要第二次世界大战期间，波兰抵抗运动对第三帝国使用了化学和生物武器。对第三帝国使用CBW很可能源于波兰的一个秘密生物武器计划，该计划存在于20世纪30年代，并在1939年9月德国入侵后转入地下。1940年至1942年间，波兰抵抗运动的一支名为WKZO的部队（Wielkopolskie Kierownictwo Zwińzku Odwetu——报复联盟的大波兰领导层）在德国吞并区Reichsgau Wartheland及其主要城市波森（今天的波兹南）进行了CBW破坏活动。通过调查WKZO在1942年销毁CBW之前使用CBW的情况，可以证明这些武器是如何制造和使用的。文章还描述了德国的反应，包括德国最高司令部为应对CBW的威胁而采取的防御措施。

The covert battlefield: Doctor Witaszek, the WKZO, and the Polish use of biological and chemical warfare against the Third Reich

ABSTRACT During World War II, the Polish resistance movement used chemical and biological weapons (CBW) against the Third Reich. The use of CBW against the Third Reich most likely originated in a secret Polish biological-weapons program, which existed in the 1930s and went underground after the September 1939 German invasion. Between 1940 and 1942, a unit of the Polish resistance movement named WKZO (Wielkopolskie Kierownictwo Związku Odwetu—the Greater Poland Leadership of the Union of Retaliation) conducted CBW sabotage in the German-annexed area Reichsgau Wartheland and its main city Posen (today’s Poznań). By investigating the use of CBW by the WKZO until its destruction in 1942, it is possible to demonstrate how these weapons were made and used. The article also describes the German reaction, including what defensive measures the German high command took to meet the threat of CBW.
