Northern Group of Forces

Soviet Armed Forces formation

The Northern Group of Forces was the military formation of the Soviet Army stationed in Poland from the end of Second World War in 1945 until 1993 when they were withdrawn in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union. Although officially considered Polish allies under the Warsaw Pact treaty, they were seen by some Poles, including Jan Parys, the first civilian minister of defense of the Republic of Poland between 1991 and 1992, as a Soviet occupation force.
