Summary/Abstract: A breakthrough in perceiving the policy pursued by Chamberlain’s cabinet towards Germany took place in the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in March and April of 1939 – after a closer cooperation with Great Britain began – but its origins should be looked for in the earlier period. The purpose of the article (based mainly on the archival search in the Warsaw’s Archives of Modern Records) is to outline the way of perceiving the British policy towards Germany – from the end of the Sudeten Crisis to the breaking of the Munich Pact – by the Polish diplomatic service of that time.
