Hello,
I have found this set of documents/letters written in both Polish and a little German from 1939. I can type the letters into Google Translate but when I do that, I am still confused as to what the letters are referring to. We found these in the attic with other family photos and are not sure what it is. Can someone help explain (and even a better translation than Google Translate)?

I know it is long but any help in understanding is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Heather |

Dear Heather,
You have submitted confidential political reports from just before WW2 broke out. The German documents I can't make out for sure, they seem to be a description of the previous page in German.
Page 1 dated 29 March 1939 in the Polish Embassy in London marked Secret, Political report No 7/1 describes change of attitude of the British government following the Czech crisis and attitude towards East European countries. It is just the introduction.
Page 2 - in German
Page 3 dated 9 March 1939 in the Polish Embassy in London, marked secret, describes the visit in the Polish Embassy of Mr Hudson, Foreign Trade parliamentary secretary with several representatives of the Foreign Office and the Treasury regarding British imports to Poland. It mentions signs of tightening relations between London and Moscow. Signed by the Polish Ambassador Edward Raczyński
page 4 - in German
Page 5 dated 2 Nov 1938 in Katowice, Silesia, marked secret, was written by chief of local government (wojewoda śląski) to an unknown minister about Czech politics and the opinion of one of Czech polititians, Krulis Randa, candidate for Czech presidency, about cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Germany.
page 6 - in German
page 7 dated 29 March 1939 in Polish Embassy in Paris, marked top secret, to the Polish Foreign Minister, regarding a meeting with Ambassador Bullit - just an introduction.
page 8 in German
I hope this helps you a little
