Page "Wilm Hosenfeld" Paragraph 0

Wilhelm Adalbert Hosenfeld (; 2 May 1895 – 13 August 1952 ), originally a teacher, was a German Army officer who rose to the rank of Hauptmann by the end of the war.

He helped to hide or rescue several Poles, including Jews, in Nazi-occupied Poland, and is perhaps most remembered for helping Polish-Jewish pianist and composer Władysław Szpilman to survive, hidden, in the ruins of Warsaw during the last months of 1944.
