Tadeusz Puszczyński

Tadeusz Puszczyński (nom de guerre: "Konrad Wawelberg"; February 2, 1895 in Piotrków Trybunalski – February 24, 1939 in Warsaw) was a Polish military intelligence officer who commanded the Polish General Staff's Destruction Group during the Third Silesian Uprising.

Tadeusz Puszczyński was born on February 2, 1895, in the village of Józinki near Piotrków Trybunalski in Congress Poland.

During World War I, Puszczyński served in Józef Piłsudski's Polish Legions, then participated in the Silesian Uprisings.

The Wawelberg Group opened the uprising on May 2–3, 1921, by blowing up bridges linking Upper Silesia with the rest of Germany, thus thwarting immediate German measures to suppress the uprising.

Puszczyński died of cancer on February 24, 1939, in Warsaw and was interred at Powązki Cemetery.
