Otto Schimek (May 5, 1925 – November 14, 1944) was an Austrian soldier in the German Wehrmacht during World War II who served as a member of a firing squad. He was himself executed, allegedly for refusing to carry out a death sentence on Poles, making him a symbol of pacifism and Austrian resistance to Nazism. The truthfulness of the story has been disputed, with critics arguing that the story is not based on any reliable documents and is a fabrication.

  • Otto Schimek (* 5. Mai 1925 in Wien; † 14. November 1944 in Lipiny) war ein österreichischer Soldat, der einem Erschießungskommando der Wehrmacht angehört haben soll. Er selbst wurde vom NS-Regime durch Erschießen hingerichtet, angeblich nachdem er sich geweigert haben soll, an der Exekution einer polnischen Familie mitzuwirken. Dadurch wurde er zu einer Symbolfigur des Pazifismus und des österreichischen Widerstands gegen den Nationalsozialismus. (de)
