Paul Freiherr[note 1] Puhallo von Brlog (21 February 1856 – 12 October 1926) was a general of Austria-Hungary.

After successfully completing studies at the Imperial and Royal Technical Military Academy in Vienna, Puhallo became a Leutnant (lieutenant) in Field Artillery Regiment No.

In April 1905 he was appointed commander of the 50th Infantry Brigade in Vienna, and he received a promotion to Generalmajor (major general) on 1 May 1905.

In October 1912 he succeeded General of the Infantry Arthur Heinrich Sprecher von Bernegg as commander of the V Corps in Preßburg.

During the larger Battle of Galicia, Puhallo's troops were involved in Dankl's victory over Imperial Russian Army forces in the Battle of Kraśnik of 23–25 August 1914, but after Russian counterattacks caused the Austro-Hungarian forces to the south to collapse, Puhallo's corps, along with the rest of the 1st Army, had to withdraw from the southern approaches to Lublin along the San River and pull back behind the San until mid-September 1914.

In the Battle of the Vistula River, which began on 29 September 1914, Puhallo's troops advanced into Russian Poland as part of the 1st Army.

When the Russian Brusilov Offensive began in June 1916, Puhallo's troops were defeated and forced to join a general retreat.

Austria-Hungary's participation in World War I ended with the Armistice of Villa Giusti on 3 November 1918, and Puhallo officially retired on 1 December 1918.

[5][6] After his retirement, and in the wake of the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, Puhallo became a citizen of the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Receiving only a small pension from the state for his service in the Austro-Hungarian Army, he lived in relative poverty.
