Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article was to present various aid and political activities of Polish diplomacy for the Warsaw insurgents in the first month of fighting against the German occupier, in August 1944, based on telegrams of the Polish Legation in Bern, Switzerland. The topic was developed based on encrypted telegrams, including secret ones exchanged between the Polish Legation in Bern, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in London and other foreign missions. Polish diplomats provided all possible assistance to the Warsaw insurgents in the first month of their fight against the German occupier, as well as to the entire society in Warsaw, in various ways. If it were not for the combined forces of Polish diplomacy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government and its agencies, there might have been more victims among the participants and witnesses of the Warsaw Uprising.
