Summary/Abstract: In the article author shows how the Polish diplomacy regarded possible Third Reich’s agreement with Soviet Union. Author shows backstage of diplomacy in the period preceding outbreak of war. Zacharias claims, that the concept of Polish foreign policy, was, unlike minister Beck’s hopes, not acceptable by Germany, as it was an obstacle to the expansion in any direction: western - as it was automatically launching Polish obligations under the alliance with France, and eastern as it was obstructing futurę invasion on Soviet Union.
