Wilm Hosenfeld

Wilhelm Adalbert Hosenfeld (; 2 May 1895 – 13 August 1952) was a German Army officer who by the end of the Second World War was promoted to "Hauptmann" (Captain). 
He helped to hide or rescue several Polish people, including Jews, in Nazi-German occupied Poland, and helped Polish-Jewish pianist and composer Władysław Szpilman to survive, hidden, in the ruins of Warsaw during the last months of 1944.
In October 2007, Hosenfeld was honored by the president of Poland Lech Kaczyński with a Commander’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
