Hans Reissner
During World War I he was awarded the Iron Cross second class (for civilians) for his pioneering work on aircraft design.Reissner was born into a wealthy Berlin family that benefited from an inheritance from his great-uncle on his mother's side.[4][5] During the Nazi regime Reissner was able to work in the aircraft industry although he did not have an Aryan certificate.In 1935 he lost his post at Technische Universität Berlin due to his Jewish ancestry,[6] and in 1938 he emigrated to the United States.Curiously, it was this engineer, rather than a physicist or mathematician, who first solved Einstein's equation for the metric of a charged point mass.
