Description

Otto Hahn

German chemist (1879–1968) who won the 1944 Nobel Prize for the discovery of nuclear fission. ALS in German, signed “Dein Otto,” on a 3.5 x 5.5 postcard, December 28, 1914. Letter To his wife Edith in Stettin: "Yesterday I received your letter No. 33…Thank you for the…powder, it is much more pleasant than the familiar cube. I have it tonight, even…used in a few days I'm safe again. All the best for new year…In 10 minutes you go back to Messines and for a short time in the 'trench'. But soon I have it for some time.” Hahn has also hand addressed the postcard, signing “Leutnant Hahn,” in the return address area. In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning. RRAuction COA.
