Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of 1940, the Polish Government -in -Exile initiated a specific operation. The Industrial Evacuation – as an example of a specific type of evacuation – was dedicated to engineers, technicians and highly qualified workers who were interned to Romania and Hungary after the fall of Poland in September 1939. The Industrial Evacuation was not only meticulously planned, but it was also a very dynamic and partly improvised operation. As a result, about 2000 men and women – Polish industrial specialists – were successfully transferred to France and partly to the Great Britain in the period from January to June of 1940. The process described above has been analysed in the chronological order. The research strategy is based on a quantitative and comparative analyses of the data derived from various sources, such as: official documents stored in Polish and foreign archives, published articles and monographs.
