Kaiser-Wilhelmina Institute of Chemistry
The Kaiser-Wilhelmina Institute of Chemistry was a chemical research institute in Berlin, Germany.
History[edit | edit source]
In September 1942, undercover Allied spy Eddie Gorm and German agent Otto Hammerstein were present at Gero Kramer's ceremony to honor the inventor of the Uranprojekt, Werner Heisenberg. However, Gorm's cover went awry when he took Heisenberg hostage in front of Kramer, Otto, and Nazi soldiers. At Werner's lab, Gorm interrogated Heisenberg, only to learn that his invention was nonexistent and that the funding from a company called Abstergo went to Kramer's real invention, Die Glocke. Before he could learn more, Gorm was soon surrounded by Otto and his men while Werner attacked him with a flask. Luckily, Julia Dusk came to rescue Gorm and the pair escaped together.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Historically, by the year 1949, the institute was renamed the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry.[2]
