| Bemærkning | Charles Christian Lauritsen (1892—1968) was a Danish physicist. In 1916 he emigrated to the United States. By 1921 he was working in Palo Alto on radio for communicating between ship and shore.
In 1926 Lauritsen attended a public lecture by Robert Millikan who, in casual conversation afterwards, invited him to visit Caltech. Lauritsen and his family soon moved to Pasadena where he talked his way into graduate study in physics. In 1929 he received his Ph.D., and in 1930 he joined the physics department faculty. He spent the remainder of his academic career as Professor of Physics at this institution, finally retiring in 1962. In 1940, more than a year before the U.S. entered World War II, Lauritsen began work on weapons and weapons design. His initial work was on the design and development of the proximity fuse, but for most of the war he ran a large program at Caltech that developed and manufactured a variety of rocket weapons. In the last months of the war, he helped in the American efforts to design and build an atomic bomb. Nils Asther (1897 – 1981) was a Swedish Actor. After attending the Royal Dramatic Theater School in Stockholm, he began his stage career in Copenhagen. His film debut came in 1916 in the Swedish film "Vingerne" (1916). Asther moved to Hollywood in 1927, where he played romantic roles with co-stars such as Greta Garbo, Pola Negri, and Joan Crawford. His Hollywood career continued until 1934 when his career declined. In 1958, he returned to Sweden, where he continued his acting career. Lorenz Peter Elfred Freuchen (February 20, 1886 – September 2, 1957) was a Danish explorer, author, journalist and anthropologist. He is notable for his role in Arctic exploration, namely the Thule Expeditions. In 1906, he went on his first expedition to Greenland as a member of the Denmark expedition. The First Thule Expedition aimed to test Robert Peary's claim that a channel divided Peary Land from Greenland. It proved this was not the case in a 1,000 km (620 mi) journey across the inland ice. In Denmark, Freuchen held a series of lectures about their expeditions and the Inuit culture. During World War II, Freuchen was actively involved with the Danish resistance movement. |
