Archduke Karl Albrecht of Austria-Teschen (Karl Albrecht Nikolaus Leo Gratianus von Österreich, later Karl Albrecht Habsburg-Lothringen, since 1919 – Karol Olbracht Habsburg-Lotaryński; 18 December 1888 – 17 March 1951) was an Austrian military officer, a member of the Teschen line of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
In 1918 and again in 1939 he became a volunteer in the Polish army.
He fought in the Polish–Soviet War.[2] In 1920, he commanded the Grudziądz Fortress.
During the German occupation of Poland, he declared Polish nationality and refused to sign the Volksliste. He was imprisoned[2] in November 1939, kept in Cieszyn[citation needed] and tortured by the Gestapo.[2] His wife was interned in Wisła.
He left prison blind in one eye and half-paralyzed. In October 1942, Albrecht and his family were sent to a labor camp in Strausberg.[2]
After liberation, he moved to Kraków and then to Sweden.
His estate was confiscated in 1939 by the invading Germans, and again in 1945 by the Polish People's Republic.[2]
