Summary/Abstract: The study is concerned with the problem of what information Czecho-Slovak diplomacy had about Slovak – German relations in the period of the so-called Second Republic. The author analyses its sources of information, which included the official statements of the German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt), reports from the Czecho-Slovak Embassy in Berlin, reports of the Czecho-Slovak intelligence service to the Foreign Ministry in Prague and the domestic and foreign press. She comes to the conclusion that Czecho-Slovak diplomacy underestimated the role of Slovak separatism in Nazi policy and only had very superficial knowledge of the contacts of Slovak political figures with the Nazis.
