Nonviolent struggle against the authoritarian communist government in Poland began soon after the communists stole parliamentary elections in 1946. However, it took over three decades of civil resistance waged over time with varying tactics and degrees of intensity for Polish society to begin organizingand consolidating itself in a broad coalition of social forces that climaxed in the establishment of the Solidarność (“Solidarity”)as an organization and a movement in August 1980. Solidarity, with its roots in trade unionism, shook and delegitimized the communist regime by exposing its ideological but also false claims of being a free “workers’ state”.

Soon after communists started to loose controle and stability in Poland, use of armed forces was planned to use. However movement of Solidarity had a huge impact on all citizens of Poland. Such decision caused unrest among civilians but also among armored forces and police units.
Many of regular soldiers didn't obbey the order. In 1983 soviet army entered Poland in large numbers in order to regain stability. But it was too late. With aid of polish armed forces, solidarity gained control over most of the country. Communist leaders were thrown to jail and new oftenlty unexpierienced leaders were placed in their position. In a matter of weeks first skirmishes took place leaving wounded and dead on both soviet and polish side. Things excalated quickly when more and more news were brought to the vision of the citizens. Many man joined polish forces in order to stand their ground against soviet forces. Thankfuly situation in other bordering countries were not going well for communists either which led to full scale conflicts all around eastern europe.

On 2nd of June 1983 newly created 1st assault battalion recieved a task to secure multiple main roads and towns around them. This was a task of a great impotance due to those roads having huge logistical potential both for Poland and USSR. Whoever controls the roads, gets to transport supplies and soldiers rapidly.
