Zdzisław Harlender (15 June 1898 – 11 September 1939) was a Polish pilot, army officer and writer.

Biography

After serving in World War I, where Harlender was wounded in the Battle of Lemberg, he volunteered for the Polish Airforce and was trained as a pilot. In 1921 he was demobilized and after studies at the Academy of Foreign Trade in Lwów and Warsaw School of Economics he worked as a teacher and journalist. In 1932 he was enrolled in a military officer school and in 1934 was appointed as an infantry lieutenant.

Czciciele Dadźbóg Swarożyca, 1937

Harlender published five books from 1933 to 1939: two on economics, one a war memoir, and the last on politics. In Czciciele Dadźbóg Swarożyca (lit. 'Worshipers of Dadźbóg Swarożyc') from 1937, he lays out his vision for the revival of the pre-Christian Slavic religion.[1] Although a nationalist and a neopagan, he stood outside of the Polish neopagan milieus of his time.[2]

He was mobilized in the Polish Army when World War II broke out and died on 11 September 1939.[3]
