Herbert Sigmund Eisner (23 June 1921 - 28 June 2011)〔(''Telegraph'' obituary )〕 was a British-German scientist whose work led to high-expansion fire fighting foam. He was also a playwright. ==Early life== He was born in Berlin. His maternal grandfather knew the composer Richard Strauss and had founded Germany's first department store, the Grand Bazaar, in Frankfurt. His mother was a Wagnerian singer who holidayed with the playwright Bertolt Brecht. The family lived near the Tiergarten (Animal Garden) in central Berlin, and as a result often saw Joseph Goebbels walking to work. His aunt was Lotte H. Eisner, a German-French film critic, notably of German Expressionism, and a friend Leni Riefenstahl, the film director. In 1936 he was sent to Buxton College, a boys' grammar school in Derbyshire. His parents left Berlin in 1939 and moved to London. When war broke out he was sent to the Isle of Man, with future members of the Amadeus Quartet. He joined the British Army, taking the surname Evans, and was sent to Kerala where he repaired tanks, becoming a Staff Sergeant. He later read Physics at University College, Nottingham (the University of Nottingham). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herbert Eisner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
