I agree. Diesel was a great engineer and well ahead of his time. Did a paper in high school about him and he is also featured in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. A brilliant man. While he was a German national, he was actually born in Paris. And nobody ever figured out how he ended up dead in the water.
What? No mention of artists?
Albrecht Durer! Excellent draftsmanship.
Georg Grosz! Anti-war works, not much appreciated by the government.
Max Ernst! A member of the Surrealists from the beginning.
Hermann Hesse wrote 'Steppenwolf', a literary classic.
Peter Lorre! (almost certain he was German). I saw a German film made in 1932 with Peter Lorre. Starred Hans Albers.
And...doesn't anyone like the efforts of Beate Uhse?

I like his book Siddhartha, that's the only book I have read more than once.

No, I despise people like her. Didn't even want to mention her and Hesse in the same posting
