Norman Davies writes that the "Armia Krajowa (Home Army), the AK,... could fairly claim to be the largest of European resistance [organizations]."[5] Gregor Dallas writes that the "Home Army (Armia Krajowa or AK) in late 1943 numbered around 400,000, making it the largest resistance organization in Europe."[6] Mark Wyman writes that the "Armia Krajowa was considered the largest underground resistance unit in wartime Europe."[7] However, the numbers of Soviet partisans were very similar to those of the Polish resistance[8] as were the numbers of Yugoslav partisans.[9] For the French Resistance, François Marcot ventured an estimate of 200,000 activists and a further 300,000 with substantial involvement in Resistance operations.[10]
