Dec 19, 2017 at 12:11 | comment | added | Norman Gray | You beat me to Schwartzschild. He both produced the solution, and died, in the trenches (or at least within sound of gunfire, after criss-crossing Germany during the course of the war). Remarkably, the solution was only a month after Einstein published the equations in his 1915 paper, in Berlin; and his death was possibly the result of accidental exposure to his own side's experimental chemical weapons.

Dec 17, 2017 at 22:58 | comment | added | Sergei Akbarov | Actually, I was asking about any war, not necessarily WWII. | |
Dec 17, 2017 at 21:41 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | @RyanBudney Perhaps Sergei will clarify his intent. I took the use of the definite article quite literally, but I see this is one of those threads where people are happy to answer the question in their own head rather than what is written (and to be fair perhaps Sergei welcomes the wider scope) | |
Dec 17, 2017 at 21:15 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @YemonChoi: This thread appears to be deliberately conflict-agnostic, as far as I can tell. | |
Dec 17, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | The original question seemed to be asking about WW2, not other conflicts | |
