Summary/Abstract: The non-aggression declaration signed by Poland and Germany on 26 January 1934 opened a new chapter in mutual relations. It did not, however, mean a political alliance since Warsaw refused the participation in the Anti-Comintern Pact. Nevertheless, in 1935 the Polish and German security forces entered into secret cooperation to exchange information on the activities of the communist movement.
