Stefan Lech Sokołowski (Gozdawa coat of arms) (25 May 1904- spring 1940) was a Polish mathematician, climber and lieutenant (porucznik[pl]) of artillery in the Polish Land Forces. He was aLwów Eaglet, a group of children who defended the city of Lviv in 1918-1919 during the Polish-Ukrainian War. He was also a Doctor of mathematical sciences. He died as a result of the Katyn massacre, a Soviet massacre of Polish military officers in 1940. [1]

Life

Sokołowski was born on 25 May 1904 in Warsaw in the family of railway engineer and inventor, Witold Sokołowski (1871–1944), who used the Gozdawa coat of arms, and writer Anna Maria Sokołowska, née Skarbek (1878–1972).[2][3][4][5] In 1912 with his mother and sisters, he moved to Myślenice, Poland.[6] When he was less than fifteen years old, he fought in the defence of Polish Lviv (Lwów).

After the war he studied mathematics at the University of Warsaw. He worked in the Ballistic Research Center in Rembertów (Polish: Centrum Badań Balistycznych w Rembertowie) during the interwar period. He received a PhD in mathematics, before graduating in 1933 from the School Reserve Officer Cadet Artillery in Włodzimierz. On 1 January 1935 he was promoted to porucznik, the Polish equivalent of a Lieutenant. In 1939, he was assigned to the staff of OK I.[1]

Murder

In the spring of 1940, he was murdered by members of the NKVD (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs and de facto secret service) in the Katyn forest, during the Katyn Massacre, the series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union in April and May 1940.[1]
