Paul Harteck

Paul Karl Maria Harteck (1902–1985) was a German physical chemist. He was arrested by the allied British and American Armed Forces and incarcerated at Farm Hall for six months in 1945 under Operation Epsilon. After his release, he returned to academia.

Paul Harteck (1902-1947) was one of several scientists captured by the German Freedom Front in 1946. It had been Reinhard Heydrich's hope that the scientists might build the GFF an atomic bomb. Karl Wirtz disabused Heydrich of that notion.

Nonetheless, Harteck and his fellows were held in the underground Alpine Redoubt until 1947. When American forces arrived, Heydrich escaped, and ordered Harteck and several other scientists killed.
