Georg, Crown Prince of Saxony (1893–1943)

Born 1893 CE, died 1943 CE.

Georg, Crown Prince of Saxony or George (15 January 1893 – 14 May 1943) was the last Crown Prince of Saxony and the heir to Frederick Augustus III, the final King of Saxony, at the time of the monarchy’s abolition on 13 November 1918. He later became a Roman Catholic priest and a Jesuit. He drowned while swimming in the Groß Glienicke Lake in Berlin. The last entry in his diary was a quotation from the Gospel of John interpreted as "I go to the Father" or "I go to my Father." His brother Ernst Heinrich suspected that Georg committed suicide, but the official autopsy rejected this theory.
