Summary/Abstract: The article deals with Polish-German relations in Pomerania preceding the outbreak of the Second World War and gives an account of the sequence of battles fought in 1939. The author discusses German preparations to the invasion of Poland, focusing mainly on the region of Gdansk Pomerania. Attention is drawn to the disproportion of forces engaged in combat on the Polish and German sides. The course of the September Campaign in Pomerania is assessed taking into account the actual strategic-operational capacities of the units of the „Pomorze” Army. The article also highlights some of the documents which provide significant evidence of the real intentions of the generalship of the Third Reich’s armed forces.
