I am Heinz Haber's youngest son, Marc Haber, living in Mannheim, Germany. I have removed references to the NSDAP and alleged experiments my father has been reported here to have done on prisoners in Dachau. I have never heard of that and would like to have the claim substantiated by citeable sources before Wikipedia can accuse my father of nazi crimes. -- Marc 'Zugschlus' Haber, mh+en-wikipedia-heinz-haber@zugschlus.de

Dear Marc Haber,

searching for biographical information on your father to answer a question in a mailing-list for history of astronomy, I learned that not only your father Heinz, but (according to NASA) also your uncle Fritz worked in the american institute of Strughold in Texas. Can you give some biographical information on Fritz Haber? And do you know, on what projects both were working? It seems to me that sometimes both persons are not distinguished in literature. --Siffler 20:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thinks are unfortunately a even more complicated. There is a second Dr. Fritz Haber in history who is not identical to my uncle. The other Fritz Haber (1868-1934) was a chemist who was inventor of the Haber-Bosch-Verfahren to synthesize ammonia. Otoh, the other Fritz Haber was a pioneer in development of chemical weapons. My uncle, Fritz Haber, mentioned in the article about my dad, was an engineer. My dad developed the parabolic flight to simulate weightlessness, and they flew my uncle in to build an instrument showing the pilot whether the aircraft is still on the correct parabolic flight path. My uncle later moved to Connecticut and founded (?) cosmotec, inc, a company that did interesting things with parts for aircraft. I was pretty young back then and do not remember much about my uncle - he was in connecticut and I was in germany.

[edit] Stars, men and atoms

I read a Chinese translation of the book "Stars, Men and Atoms" as a child growing up in Hong Kong and was really fascinated by it. I'm surprised to see no mention of any of Haber's writings in this page -- Ming Chan
