Franciszek Kleeberg

Franciszek Kleeberg (February 1, 1888 in Tarnopol - April 5, 1941 near Dresden) was a Polish general. He served in the Austro-Hungarian Army before joining the Polish Legions in World War I and later the Polish Army. During the Germans Invasion of Poland he commanded the Independent Operational Group Polesie ( _pl. Samodzielna Grupa Operacyjna "Polesie"). He never lost a battle in the Invasion of Poland, although he was eventually forced to surrender after his forces ran out of ammunition.

Imprisoned in Oflag IV-B Koenigstein, he died in hospital in Dresden on 5th April 1941 and was buried there.

In 1969 his remains were exhumated, brought to Poland and re-buried in Kock - among the fallen soldiers of the Independent Operational Group "Polesie".
