MD 33's Vote: Not Really, but VIVE LA RESISTANCE!

Pistol: FN Model 1903 vs Radom Pistolet wz.35 Vis

First off, I'm gonna ignore the guns' weights because both of them aren't too different anyway. The heavier gun may have lesser accuracy, but not in this case. Second, assuming the rest of their stats are the same, then the Polish Home Army gets the edge. The Pistolet only has a one-bullet advantage over the M1903, but one bullet makes the bigger difference here than the weight comparison. Nothing much to say here. The poles can unleash a longer hail of fire even if it only differs by one bullet, and the Pistolet reloads just as fast as the 1903.

SMG: Sten vs Blyskawica

The Sten's fire rate makes it more versatile than the Blyskawica since it can fire as fast as the other gun to compete with its killing power, or fire slower to gain maximum accuracy. However, the Blyskawica is the stronger weapon due to its superior muzzle velocity and range. None of these guys are crack shots but accuracy is important in this battle. And when the person is unable to rely on his own aim, he or she relies on the gun's mechanical accuracy. Sounds stupid, yes, but I'll still give this one to the Dutch Resistance. The Sten is more accurate and despite its inferior muzzle velocity, it can still kill enemies all the same. The Blyskawica is going to waste bullets as fast as or faster than the Sten. Its range advantage itself isn't going to help the fact that the Poles are just as bad as the Dutch folks in terms of accuracy.

'''Rifle: Mannlicher M1895 vs Karabinek wz. 1929'''

The M1895's muzzle velocity, while lower, is still close enough to rival those of the Karabinek's. The Karabinek's range is unknown, so let's just leave range out of the way. Both of them have bayonets and five bullets available to fire. What sets them apart then? The M1895 uses an en-bloc clip system, and that means it reloads faster than the Karabinek. Quite an easy win for the Dutch Resistance here.

'''Machine Gun: Lewis Gun vs Browning wz. 1928'''

Both machine guns fulfill different purposes in this battle. While the Browning is more suited to skirmishes at closer ranges due to its lesser range and ammo count, the Lewis Gun acts more as a turret-like machine gun that can dish out a crap ton of death from afar with ammo count over twice the Browning's own. If we look into the previous section, I mentioned that no folks from both sides are really capable marksmen, so it comes down to the mechanical accuracy of the gun itself. These MGs are as accurate as one another, yes, but the Browning is much more suited for this type of battle. It is easier to reload and move around with and it hits harder. Considering they're fighting in a town here, the Polish Home Army takes the edge. The Lewis is scary, don't get me wrong, but it's too cumbersome for a battle like this one where it takes place in a town. Limited lines of sight and overwatch spots, I tell ya.

X-Factors: Paladins of the Netherlands vs Vanguards of Poland

After reading the descriptions, I conclude that none of these resistance movements have an edge over each other. Even, indeed. Both of their warriors aren't well-trained with a few exceptions, but they both counter one another with their own advantages. The Polish Home Army is more brutal and willing to kill and has fought more battles than the dutchmen. The Dutch Resistance however, is equipped with better stuffs and are more mentally stable and encouraged than the Poles (fatigue).

WINNER: TIE

What, in, the actual, f---well I did not expect this to happen. The Poles are fierce fighters who have seen some of the worst things those damn meddlin' Nazis have done while the Dutch are equipped with better-quality weapons and can fight without experiencing random PTSDs in the middle of a small war. And the Dutch folks are physically more fit, as well. In a hindsight, the Dutch seems to have the more relevant advantages in this battle. If we discount brutality, the Dutchmen actually win the edge here. Why discount it? 'Cause everybody's gonna kill one another here, anyway. But then we have to take account that these Dutch folks might just trust the Poles since they're also another resistance movement against the Nazis BUT THEN... that's an entirely different crap again. Overall, the battle ends in a tie due to each factions bringing their own advantages that cancel out one another.
