HAHN OTTO: (1879-1968) German Chemist, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, 1944. Hahn is considered the father of nuclear chemistry. A lengthy A.L.S., Otto, six pages, 8vo, n.p., 1st January 1918, to 'Mein Liebling' (his wife, Edith Junghans), in German. Hahn writes an informative social letter to his wife following Christmas and New Year's Eve and states, in part, 'Unlike last year, I did not write two letters to you yesterday. But at least we were able to talk briefly. Actually, I was about to give up, because I had tried to ring Julius' apartment twice before, but nobody picked up…..I would have loved to talk with you a little longer, but we were playing Skat in the next room, and that is important. Also, the colonel wanted to talk to you and wish you a Happy New Year, but you were already gone again and Julius was on the line…..Our celebration last night was very cozy. I had a crazy amount of work during the day…..So we had the usual meal last night, nothing fancy, with the exception of a kind of chocolate dessert with real whipped cream (we do have a cow in the stable!). For drinks with dinner and after, we had planned for the three of us (colonel, medical director, and myself) two bottles of burgundy mixed with one bottle of champagne. There was supposed to follow a punch at midnight……But we never got around to the punch because we prolonged our “Turks Blood” so that in the end, between 8pm and 3am we had consumed 3 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of burgundy, ½ bottle of red wine, totalling about 2 bottles of alcohol each. Quite a lot, but spread over seven hours, it was tolerable. At the same time, with only short interruptions around midnight, we played wonderful Skat…..At 12, we lit the tree and interrupted the Skat…..I did not give away the rest of my cookies; I still had 1 box of berry cookies which we had after midnight…..I (and others) also enjoy the English mustard which arrived yesterday. O for it!......Judging from your mother's letters, they don't appear to be starving in Plotnick, notwithstanding the milk soup every night. Even the hunt dinner seems to be well put together…..These days, I haven't had much time for my own reading. I am still reading about the very exciting theatre director, even though I find many characters in it very idealised. Do you recall that I wrote a card to Bergrat Knochenbauer…..I had had goose at his place exactly one year ago, and in my note I asked him about his son who was on the front. Today, by way of an answer, I got an obituary. His son, 21, died of his injuries…..Isn't that sad? Yesterday…..I sent you 100 marks. That includes your gift from Santa. Also, do not forget to buy yourself, not from this money, the taffeta before it gets more expensive……' VG Otto Hahn married Edith Junghans (1887-1968), a student at the Royal School of Art in Berlin, on 22nd March 1913. In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Hahn was recalled to the army in a Landwehr regiment and the following year was transferred to Berlin as a human Guinea-pig testing poisonous gases and gas masks. Hahn was also sent on frequent missions to the front to find suitable locations for gas attacks and, at the end of the war, was involved in a secret mission to test a pot that heated and released a cloud of arsenicals.
