Summary/Abstract: The article describes the receipt of airdropped financial means by the Union of Armed Struggle–Home Army (ZWZ-AK). I focus mainly on the dynamics of the process of airdropping for the Polish Underground State and the circumstances of receipt of those money by the ZWZ-AK. I also attempt to assess both the purchasing power of money sent to the Polish Underground State, and foreign currency trading on the black market, together with a broadscale action of forging occupation money and sending it to Poland under the occupation.
