The Equipment of the Armia Krajowa

The equipment used by the AK can be an interesting study just in and of itself.
The typical AK soldier used a variety of mixed and matched items, photographic study offers a glimpse into the suprisingly staggering array of clothing.

Civilian attire, captured German uniform and gear, Soviet gear, British uniform and gear as well as pre-war Polish military issue all could be seen in the ranks of the AK. That said, we highly recommend the "look" of the typical AK soldier - he/she most often wore a combination of captured German, preWar Polish and civilian attire. The only standardization seen was the white-over-red armband intended to be (but not always) worn by all.

For German gear* - SS camo smocks, mid-late war style tunics and trousers, jackboots, lowboots, leather belt, ammo pouches and suspenders are all acceptable. Caps, side-caps were also commonly worn with a Polish eagle insignia on the front.
Non Polish helmets (German M1935, M1940/42's) would typically have some sort of identifying insignia painted on. Usually, it would be a white eagle painted on the front, they varied from a crudely-painted likeness, to an intricately painted masterpiece. Also often seen was a white over red band painted completely around the mid-section of the helmet.
Pre-war Polish helmets (Polish wz 31, French M1915) rarely had the painted insignia.

Any common German weapon will be acceptable as will period Polish weapons. British Sten guns and even Soviet PPSH's would sometimes be seen but were in the minority.

See, the equipment list of the 1939 reenacting section for a list of pre-war Polish items that would be acceptable.

*Please no East German or unconverted Swedish items. While they appear similar to the untrained eye, they are not period-correct.
