It should be noted that, during the atom bomb project, a number of German and Austrian scientists had been coerced (or volunteered) to assist in the development work. These included the Nobel Prize winner Gustav Ludwig Hertz (22 July 1887-30 October 1975), Baron Manfred von Ardeime (20 January 1907-26 May 1997), Peter Adolf Thiessen (6 April 1899-5 March 1990), Max Volmer (3 May 1885-3 Jtme 1965), Nikolaus Riehl (24 May 1901-2 August 1990), and Rudolf Heinz Pose (10 April 1905-13 November 1975). They were not released until 1953. Most famous of all, Max Volmer returned to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and eventually became the President of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR.
