| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article describes the cooperation between the Second Department Polish Army (intelligence) and American military attach s.
There have not been any separate monographs regarding the cooperation between the Second Department of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces and other secret services in the 1930s yet. Although this subject is quite essential, it is treated as a part of a more extensive issue, namely the operational activity of the Polish military secret service in the years 1918-1939.
The documents included in this article are the part of the correspondence between the American Attach s and the Second Department and deal mainly with organization, weaponry and dislocation of the units of the Red Army. Many of these documents contained the requests to the subsequent chiefs of the II Department of the GS of the PAF made by American diplomats. They asked to provide them with information about the Ordre de Bataille (the Battle Plan) of the Red Army and new types of weaponry and equipment of the Soviet armed forces. |
