Stanisław Brochwicz
Stanisław Brochwicz (1910 – March 1941) was a Polish journalist, far-right activist, Nazi collaborator, Gestapo and National Radical Organization member.[1][2]
Biography
Before World War II, Brochwicz was a German agent. He was arrested by Polish counterintelligence and sentenced to death, but freed by Germans during the German invasion of Poland in 1939 before his sentence was carried out.[3]
During the war, Brochwicz was a National Radical Organization member (1939–1940). In the Polish press he wrote articles praising Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. In 1941 he wrote the book ”Heroes or traitors? Memories of a political prisoner”, in which he expressed his support for the Nazis.
Stanisław Brochwicz was convicted of collaboration on 17 February 1941 by the verdict of the Polish Military Special Court, with a sentence of the death penalty, and executed by the underground assassination squad in March that year.
