I was the 8th child of a civil engineer in Europe. As a youth I was an accomplished hockey player, but the major incident of my childhood was when I was ten years old and shot my father to death in an accident. Around the age of 20 I witnessed a first time event in a particular endeavor and was inspired to devote the remainder of my life to designing equipment in that field. I set up a factory and just a few years after it opened, I retooled it to start producing war weapons when the first world war erupted.
Among the products from my factory was the most famous and successful weapon of its type. But before that I had produced a weapon which when later more or less duplicated by one of the enemy's leading weapon producers, became that rival designer's most famous product.
