Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problem of the operation of the intelligence service of the Polish Government-in-Exile in the period of the progressive loss of its legal personality on the international scene and the crisis in East-West relations at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. Particular attention was given to the political conditions for conducting classified activities in the country, which were the result of the interpretation adopted by the Polish elite based in London concerning the continuation of their mission of leadership in exile. This relatively short activity, lasting about ten years, united all emigration environments and the information obtained owing to its operation was the basis for many interventions on the international forum as part of the efforts to regain Poland’s independence.
