Rudolf Stork (born October 8, 1914 in Czerwionce, November 17, 1944 in Katowice) is a member of the Polish Army, a participant in the September Campaign, an underground traffic activist, a prisoner of concentration camp prisoners.

In 1934 he graduated from the State Junior High School in Rybnik (now the First Silesian High School in Rybnik). In 1937 he graduated with a Master's degree in Economics and Commerce from the Warsaw School of Economics (now the Warsaw School of Economics).

After the outbreak of World War II he took part as a sub-officer in the September campaign. After the defeat, he did not fold his arms. In November 1939 he was active in the underground movement. He was a link between the district of Katowice and the district of Rybnik. It was then that the Gestapo began tracking him. He hid and continued to work with full dedication. Pursued by a miracle, he escaped arrest. In April 1940 he decided to travel abroad, on April 13 he crossed the Austrian-Hungarian border. He fell into the hands of the Hungarian police, who set him down to the Austrian border. And this time he escaped arrest - crossed the Hungarian border again and was fortunate enough to go to Budapest. There he undertook a dangerous function of the liaison with the country and launched the transit points on his route.

In May 1940 he was arrested and imprisoned in Vienna, then in concentration camps in Dachau and Ravensbrück. Released in 1941, he worked for the family as a railway worker and later as a mental worker. Despite heavy passages, he entered the underground resistance movement and actively fought the enemy.

At the secret meeting on October 28, 1944, he was arrested and imprisoned in Katowice, then in Mysłowice, from where he probably was taken to Katowice prison on November 17, 1944 and shot there. Bibliography
