Bogdan Musial (Polish: Bogdan Musiał) is German historian of Polish background[1] specializing in history of the Second World War.

Bogdan Musial was born 1960 in Wielopole. In 1985 he sought and received political asylum in the Federal Republic of Germany, in 1992 he was naturalized. From 1990 to 1998 he studied history, political sciences and sociology in Hanover and Manchester. In 1998 he graduated with a thesis on the treatment of Jews in occupied Poland.

From 1991 to 1998, Musial received a scholarship from Friedrich Ebert Foundation. During that time he was one the main critics of the Wehrmachtsausstellung, compiled by the Hamburg Institute for Social Research, which eventually had to be revised.

Since 1998 he has been a scientific coworker at the German Historical Institute [2] in Warsaw where he has studied previously inaccessible sources about crimes of the Soviet NKVD during the Soviet retreat in 1941 which escalated violence.[3]^[1].
