Franjo Šimić (May 25, 1900 near Gospić – August 9, 1944 in Mostar) was a Croatian colonel, and later general, in the Croatian Home Guard. Prior to World War II he served as Maria of Romania's adjutant.[1]
Šimić retook Šuica and Tomislavgrad in August 1942.[2] He was awarded the Military Order of the Iron Trefoil III Class in late 1942 for his role in the defence of Kupres and Bugojno.[3]
He was allegedly assassinated in Mostar in 1944 under unknown circumstances.[4] He was posthumously awarded the Military Order of the Iron Trefoil II with Wreath, which gave him the title of vitez (knight).[5]
