Does anyone have information on the activities of the Polish Home Army
especially in early 1942 or so? All I can find online is that they were engaged in sabotage and consolodating forces for a general uprising. But what actual operations were being performed and what, if any, German reprisals did they have to contend with?

The Home Army was founded February 14, 1942 on the basis of the smaller ZWZ. The main task was the unification of the non-communist underground. I believe that the nationalistic organisation was stronger than the ZWZ. I know that the HA organised two Wieniec (Garland) actions against the railroads around Warsaw in Autumn and Winter 1942.
The situation was quite clear in 1942 - the Germans killed 10 till 100 Poles for one dead German. The first experience was the Hubal unit 1939/1940. The Germans killed some number of civilians and burned a village (several ones?) in Kielce region. Warsaw was decorated with rosa posters Bekanntmachung containing the names of people punished with death. The people were shot in the streets, sometimes hanged. In Reich (Western Poland) and in ethnically mixed areas in the East the Home Army had little chance to act.
