Manifesto of the Polish Committee of National Liberation

It was officially proclaimed in Chełm on 22 July 1944, and shortly after, its text was personally amended by Joseph Stalin in Moscow, before being printed there as well.

The manifesto was addressed to the Polish nation at that time: individuals both within Nazi-occupied Poland, and those in exile abroad due to the ongoing World War II.

Long live the united Polish Army, fighting for the freedom of Poland!

Long live the State National Council - the representation of the fighting people!

Long live free, strong, independent, sovereign and democratic Poland!"
