Blizna, Administrative division in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland.
Blizna operates within the three-tier administrative structure of Poland, positioned between Ropczyce and Rzeszów in the southeastern region of the country.
From November 1943 to July 1944, German forces established a military base in Blizna for V-2 rocket testing after relocating operations from Peenemünde.
The Polish resistance movement Armia Krajowa demonstrated local resilience by monitoring rocket launches and successfully retrieving missile components before German intervention.
The administrative division functions under a system where local councils and mayors implement governance decisions affecting approximately 250 residents at an elevation of 200 meters.
Polish intelligence agents managed to secure and transport a complete V-2 rocket that landed near Sarnaki in May 1944 for technical analysis.
