Józef Retinger
Polish diplomat and activist (1888–1960)
Józef Hieronim Retinger (World War II noms de guerreSalamandra, "Salamander", and Brzoza, "Birch Tree"; 17 April 1888 – 12 June 1960) was a Polish politician, scholar, international political activist with access to some of the leading power brokers of the 20th century, a publicist and writer.
