Zygmunt Milczewski (1 October 1905 – 2 June 2001) was a Polish historian associated with Pomerania, a community leader in the Second Polish Republic, and World War II resistance fighter in the underground Home Army (Armia Krajowa) with the postwar rank of Lieutenant (porucznik).
During the darkest years of Stalinism in Poland he spent three years in prison as the so-called enemy of the state in 1949-1952 along with thousands of other political prisoners persecuted by the communist Urzad Bezpieczenstwa.Milczewski is best remembered for his research into wartime history of his beloved province, with special focus on the attempted genocide of ethnic Poles of Pomerania in the course of Nazi Operation Tannenberg, known as Intelligenzaktion, including massacres in Piasnica among various atrocities and expulsions.
