Andreas Bronislaw Wadeksloff Nielsen (31 March 1918 – 27 February 1945) was a member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power.
On 19 February 1939 he married Ingrid Kathrine Jensen. As a member of the resistance he was a mechanic and a driver.[1]
On 26 February 1945 a German court martial sentenced Nielsen to death and the following day he and nine other resistance members were executed in Ryvangen.[1][2]
On 29 August 1945 Nielsen and 105 other victims of the occupation were given a state funeral in the memorial park founded at the execution and burial site in Ryvangen where he was executed. Bishop Hans Fuglsang-Damgaard led the service with participation from the royal family, the government and representatives of the resistance movement.[3]
The cemetery in Rødovre has a memorial plaque for him.[1]
Og som en blodig Afslutning paa Februar Maaned, der har kostet Danmark saa mange Ofre, kommer Meddelelsen om, at Tyskerne paa den næstsidste Dag i Maaneden har henrettet 10 danske Patrioter: Erik Crone, Einar Aksel Larsen, Svend Glendau, Karl Gustav Stricker, Poul Madsen, Karl Børge Sørensen, Preben Richard Christensen, Andreas Bronislaw Wadekoloff Nielsen, [sic] Preben Gylche og Harald Christensen. Det var unge Mennesker allesammen - fra 18 til 29 Aar - som har ydet en værdifuld Indsats i den aktive Frihedskamp. Deres Minde vil leve blandt os - de har givet deres Liv for Danmarks Frihed.
