The Division was commanded by Colonel Antoni Zolkiewski (nom de guerre “Lin”), while his chief of staff was Captain Michal Mandziara “Siwy”.

Since this turned out to be impossible, as the route northwards was blocked by strong German units, on August 23 the Division headed towards Checiny, planning to capture Kielce.

On October 8, 1944, following the order of headquarters of the Home Army District Radom - Kielce, the division was disbanded due to deteriorating general situation, shortage of food and autumn conditions.

The "Wybraniecki" unit, commanded by Marian Sołtysiak ("Barabasz") which was part of the 4th Legions Infantry Regiment, murdered hiding Jews and their helpers on a number of occasions.

In order to purge their own ranks of Jews in hiding, the unit examined the genitalia of members, executing on the basis of circumcision.
