Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to present the policy of Germany towards Italy in the period between the German assault on Poland on 1 September 1939 and the Italy’s accession to war on 10 June 1940. It was a difficult period for the bilateral relations because of the Mussolini’s decision not to join the war (non-belligeranza) despite alliances with Germany. Additional difficulties were caused by strengthening of the German-Soviet relations, especially the attack of the USSR on Finland. The German-Italian relations improved only after Mussolini expressed his readiness to join the war relatively quickly.
