Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the transfer of refugees – citizens of the Second Polish Republic – carried out by the Third Reich and the USSR in the spring of 1940. It presents the circumstances of the German-Soviet pact (in the context of population transfers arranged by both sides, including Germany’s recovery of Volksdeutsche from the former Polish Eastern Borderlands at the turn of 1939/1940), the process of transferring the refugees, and the statistics. The aim of the paper is to verify and supplement the body of knowledge on this issue compiled thus far.
