Biography

Before World War II, Brochwicz was a German agent. He was arrested by Polish counterintelligence and sentenced to death, but freed by Germans during the German invasion of Poland in 1939 before his sentence was carried out.^[3]

During the war, Brochwicz was a National Radical Organization member (1939–1940). In the Polish press, he wrote articles praising Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. In 1941, Brochwicz wrote Heroes or traitors? Memories of a political prisoner, in which he expressed his support for the Nazis.

Brochwicz was convicted of collaboration on 17 February 1941 by the verdict of the Polish Military Special Court, with a sentence of death. He was executed by an underground assassination squad, which stabbed him to death in March of that year.
