Stig with respect to you but you do not knot know, what you are talking about!?
There were during September war a few examples of such attaks done by "enemy within". The first such case (upraising/mutiny/diversion?) was done on 3.09.39 in Bydgosz by German miniority or German saboteurs from Gdańsk. German "civils" did attack Polish army - units of 15 Dywizja Piechoty, Armia "Pomorze".
German had called this event as
"Bromberger Blutsonntag". Polish army and Polish civils had killed about 150-300 Germans from Bydgoszcz as revenge, retaliation on 3.09.39.
According Germans or Mr. J. Gebbels it was even more - 1000 killed Germans by Poles.
Soon and fast German had done own revenge, retalation a few tousends of Poles from Bydgoszcz/Bromberg accused for these war crimes (first were killed 350-400 Poles on 05.09.39 and later in a next few months the next 1500 Poles were mordered/shoot near Bydgosz - in Fordon).
The same problems were with Ukrainian and Bialorrusians (White Russians living in Poland 1918-1939. After 17.09.39 there were several more or less small battles with them. Attacks were done by communist supporters as concerning Białorussians
around Grodno (small town Skidel, 18/19.09.39) for example.
The same was done by Ukrainian undeground national movments of OUN (supported and trained by Germans).
There were also a lot of cases of desertion from Polish Army done by Ukrainians after 17.09.39.
The first Ukrainian small uprising against Polish power was executed on
12/13.09.39 in Stryj (east-south part of Poland). Such attaks done by OUN's small units were much more after 17.09.
The scale of this communist or national/ethnic small wars in Poland were much smaller then in Yugoslavia, but Poles were often killed in the east of Poland (Kresy) after 12.09 or much more cases after 17.09.39. Total in actions against Polish civilians in September and October 1939 killed about 2,000 Poles in Eastern Galicia and in Volyn next about 1000.
There were also losses among Polish army, Police or volountary units.
The last but not least.
There was in Poland during WW II a small ethnical war between Poles and Ukrainians 1942-1945. Both sides killed a lot of people, Ukrainian of OUN/UPA much more.
Fighting in south-eastern Poland turned 1942-1945 were similar in terms of the scale and ferocity, and the number of murders between Croats and Serbs in Yugoslavia.
In Poland, the Ukrainians were making similar ethnic cleaning of Poles, not to mention Jews, since October 1942 - creation of Ukrainian UPA.
