The fate of the club is inseparably intertwined with the history of Poland. The resilience and popularity as well as the successes of Polonia resulted in the award of the best club in Poland in 1939. This successful development was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. At the beginning of the occupation, the Germans requisitioned the stadium and all sports equipment, but the Polonists did not interrupt their activities. Footballers successfully participated in Warsaw's underground championships.
