K. Raszewski (1864–1941)—General of the Polish Army, participant in battles on the fronts of World War I (in the Prussian army), the Greater Poland Uprising, and the wars of 1919–1920; head of military security for the Plebiscite in Upper Silesia; president of the General Board of the Greater Poland Insurgents’ Association. Toward the end of his life, he publicly expressed his pro-German views. “These statements, as well as his published memoirs, provoked a fierce attack by the veterans’ press and, as a result, led to his expulsion from the ranks of the Greater Poland Insurgents’ Association” (PSB).
