Summary/Abstract: The fate and attitudes of Polish Germans during the Second World War area problem less recognised and presented in the literature than the history of the Germanminority in the interwar period. This issue has also not received a separate and comprehen-sive survey of the historiography’s state, which would indicate further research directions.Cognitive gaps were also not defi ned. The publication formulates the topics, most often pre-senting the issue of the attitude of Polish Germans to the reality of the occupation. It alsoindicates the dominant research models and the source base used.
