Mikolajczyk's wife
I can't find the source right now, but didn't the Germans hand over Stanislaw Mikolajczyk's wife, whom they had imprisoned, over to the brigade? As a gesture of good will or something? Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
recognition of government in exile
Re: "They refused to recognize the authority of the Polish government-in-exile. "
NSZ-ZJ did recognize the Polish government in exile. Source [1]. What they didn't recognize was that the Home Army was the only legitimate resistance in Poland and the Government Delegation for Poland. Yes, I know this is a bit like recognizing the President of a country but not his minister, so it's sort of hair-splitting, but we should be accurate about it.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Is this the correct badge? It appears to have a typo on it: "Bygada"
Accusations of Nazi collaboration
According to historian Jan Józef Kasprzyk, claims of the Holy Cross Mountains Brigade came as a product of postwar communist propaganda meant to smear the unit's legacy[1]. Following the Second World War, Poland was under total Soviet control as a satellite state that implanted a communist regime that phoned straight to Moscow. It was frequent Soviet/communist propaganda to label Polish soldiers, including the Home Army themselves and other detachments, who fought against the Nazi German occupiers as "fascists" and "German collaborators" in an attempt to destroy and tarnish their legacy. In the whole of the Brigade's history, there has not been a single case of it's soldiers fighting side by side with the Nazi Germans nor murdering Polish Jews. It should also be noted that Poles of Jewish descent served in the ranks of the Holy Cross Mountains Brigade. No legitimate scholar to this day accuses the group of Nazi collaboration, only fables from Soviet/communist parties. It is in my opinion that the section regarding the accusation of Nazi collaboration be removed, rather than engaging in a Soviet historically revisionist point-of-view. -20:12, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
