The Western Section created in summer 1942 was a part of the Department of Press and Information of so called Delegatura of the Polish Government in Exile. Its goal was to perform as a news agency and the coordinator of propaganda in the territories incorporated to the Third Reich and in the western territories claimed in compensation for the war. The section collected, studied and compiled information. In 12 comprehensive situational reports, a number of telegrams and special dispatches sent to London before August 1944 it informed the authorities about the situation. In cooperation with the underground press it also educated the Polish society. The section issued three magazines, a satiric supplement, several books, many leaflets and brochures. It also organized a base to reconstruct the Department of Press and Information in Western Poland.
