Henryk Leon Strasburger (27 May 1887 – 2 May 1951) was a Polish economist, general commissioner in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk) and delegate to the League of Nations. He was also a member of the Polish government in exile during World War II. According to The New York Times, he was among the earliest and most outspoken of Poles to recognise the menace of Hitler to his country. His warning was clear in his book The Case of Danzig, published some months before the outbreak of war.[1]
