 Its aim was not to engage Soviet forces in combat, but to observe them and to gather intelligence while the Polish Government-in-Exile decided how to deal with the Soviets; at that time, the exiled government still believed in the possibility of constructive negotiations with the Soviets.On 7 May 1945 "NIE" ("NO") was disbanded and transformed into an Armed Forces Delegation for Poland ("Delegatura Sił Zbrojnych na Kraj"); but this organization lasted only until 8 August 1945, when it was decided to disband it and to stop partisan resistance.The first Polish communist government, the Polish Committee of National Liberation, formed in July 1944, declined to accept jurisdiction over Home Army soldiers, therefore for over a year Soviet agencies such as the NKVD took responsibility for disarming the Home Army.
