Tadeusz Schaetzel

Tadeusz Schaetzel de Merxhausen[1] (1891–1971) was a Polish Army colonel, intelligence officer, Promethean leader, diplomat and politician.

[4] In 1922 he was sent on a secret mission to Switzerland to Turkish General Ismet Pasha, who would become the second president of Turkey in 1938 after the death of Kemal Atatürk.

[6] In this capacity he was very supportive of Marshal Józef Piłsudski's Promethean project, aimed at liberating the non-Russian peoples of the Soviet Union.

[8] When the Soviet Union invaded Poland on 17 September 1939, Schaetzel, along with other Polish political and military leaders, crossed the border into Romania, where he was interned in 1939–44 with Foreign Minister Józef Beck.

[9] From 1947 he resided in Great Britain, where he co-founded the Józef Piłsudski Institute in London and the League for Polish Independence.
