The trial will be held, probably the first week of March, in the famous Old Bailey central criminal court where Klaus Fuchs, the naturalized British German born scientist who succeeded in giving American and British atomic bomb secrets to Russia and thereby changed world history during the 1950s, was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Fuchs, after nine and a half years, was released, being given time off for good behavior.

* In the late 16th century, the physician to margrave Georg Friedrich was the famous botanist, Leonhart Fuchs.

German physician Leonhart Fuchs ( 1501 – 1566 ) was one of " the three German fathers of botany ", along with Otto Brunfels ( 1489 – 1534 ) and Hieronymus Bock ( 1498 – 1554 ) ( also called Hieronymus Tragus ).

Within his lifetime, his idiom left an imprint on several composers within his personal circle, who strongly admired his music, such as Heinrich von Herzogenberg, Robert Fuchs, and Julius Röntgen, as well as on Gustav Jenner, who was Brahms's only formal composition pupil.

In January 1950, on evidence provided by the Venona intercepts, Soviet atomic spy Klaus Fuchs was arrested.

Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs ( 29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988 ) was a German-British theoretical physicist and atomic spy who in 1950 was convicted of supplying information from the American, British and Canadian atomic bomb research ( the Manhattan Project ) to the USSR during and shortly after World War II.

While at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fuchs was responsible for many significant theoretical calculations relating to the first fission weapons and later, the early models of the hydrogen bomb, the first fusion weapon.

Klaus Fuchs was born in Rüsselsheim, Grand Duchy of Hesse, the third of four children to Lutheran pastor Emil Fuchs and his wife Else Wagner.

Fuchs ' father was later a professor of theology at Leipzig University.

Fuchs ' grandmother, mother, and his older sister eventually committed suicide ( his mother in c. 1932, his sister in 1939 to avoid capture by the Nazis ), while his younger sister was diagnosed as schizophrenic.

Fuchs was put into camps on the Isle of Man and later in Quebec, Canada, from June to December 1940.

Although Fuchs was " an asset " of GRU in Britain, his " control " was transferred to the NKGB when he moved to New York.

By revealing that America was producing one hundred kilograms of uranium-235 and twenty kilograms of plutonium per month, Fuchs made it easy for Soviet scientists to calculate the number of atomic bombs the United States possessed.

Thus, because of Klaus Fuchs, leaders of the Soviet Union knew the United States was not prepared for a nuclear war at the end of the 1940s, or even in the early 1950s.

Fuchs attended a conference of the Combined Policy Committee ( CPC ) in 1947, a committee created to facilitate exchange of atomic secrets between the highest levels of government of the U. S., Great Britain and Canada ; Donald Maclean, as British co-secretary of CPC, was also in attendance.

In 1946 when Fuchs returned to England as the first Head of the Theoretical Physics Division at the Harwell Atomic Energy Research Establishment, he was confronted by intelligence officers as a result of the cracking of Soviet ciphers known as the VENONA project.

Under interrogation by MI5 officer William Skardon at an informal meeting in December 1949, Fuchs initially denied being a spy and was not detained.

Later, in January 1950, Fuchs arranged another interview with Skardon and voluntarily confessed that he was a spy.

Hans Bethe once said that Klaus Fuchs was the only physicist he knew who truly changed history.

Most scholars have agreed with the assessment made by Hans Bethe in 1952, which concluded that by the time Fuchs left the thermonuclear program — the summer of 1946 — there was too little known about the mechanism of the hydrogen bomb for his information to be of any necessary use to the Soviet Union ( the successful Teller-Ulam design was not discovered until 1951 ).

The day passed eventfully enough, with a constant stream of visitors, some stopping only to say hello, others getting into serious conversations, such as one Andre Fuchs, a free-lance journalist from Strasbourg who wrote an article for the Nouvelle Alsatian in highly sympathetic terms.

At one point, Fuchs did calculation work that Edward Teller had refused to do because of lack of interest.

German physician Leonhart Fuchs ( 1501 – 1566 ) was one of the three founding fathers of botany, along with Otto Brunfels ( 1489 -

Others who have written trios for this combination include Robert Fuchs ( three, two in his opus 61 and one in his opus 107 ) and Sergei Taneyev ( his op.

Professor Camil Fuchs of Tel Aviv University stated that, of the thousands of ossuaries found, only one has been found with a reference to a brother, concluding that " there is little doubt that this a brother or son was done only when there was a very meaningful reason to refer to a family member of the deceased, usually due to his importance and fame.

Leonhart Fuchs ( 17 January 1501 – 10 May 1566 ), sometimes spelled Leonhard Fuchs, was a German physician and one of the three founding fathers of botany, along with Otto Brunfels and Hieronymus Bock ( also called Hieronymus Tragus ).

Ernst Fuchs ( born February 13, 1930 ) is an Austrian painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, architect, stage designer, composer, poet, singer and one of the founders of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.

" In his time Fuchs was very highly regarded, with one critic famously pointing to Fuchsisms in Mahler ’ s Second Symphony.

But with regard to Fuchs, Brahms wrote, “ Fuchs is a splendid musician, everything is so fine and so skillful, so charmingly invented, that one is always pleased .” Rarely, if ever, did another composer receive this kind of an accolade from Brahms.

| The Fuchs vehicles were initially gifted to the UK for the first Gulf War, since when they have been upgraded to be one of the most technologically advanced vehicles of their type in the world.

* Arved Fuchs, born 1953 in Bad Bramstedt, adventurer, first person to reach both the North and South Pole within one year and by foot.

After spending the winter of 1957 at Shackleton Base, Fuchs finally set out on the transcontinental journey in November 1957, with a twelve-man team travelling in six vehicles ; three Sno-Cats, two Weasels and one specially adapted Muskeg tractor.

Associated with them at one time or another were Heinrich von Herzogenberg, Friedrich Gernsheim, Robert Fuchs, and Karl Goldmark, among others.

Through Fuchs ' confession, they found that one of his American contacts had been a man named Harry Gold from Brooklyn, New York.

Together with Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner, Anton Lehmden and Arik Brauer, he is one of the main representatives and founding members of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.

As a teacher of Arik Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Hutter, Rudolf Hausner, and Anton Lehmden he is considered one of the largest influences on the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.

A religious socialist, Fuchs was one of the first Lutheran pastors to join the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

After reading Fuchs ' work one wonders: What was the source of his talent and the cause of his silence, and, perhaps more important, what was the relationship between his talent and his silence?

The song inspired one of the characters ' names in the 2007 Beatles-themed film Across the Universe, Sadie, played by Dana Fuchs.

Also in the collection is one of the Massey Ferguson tractors which Edmund Hillary used to lay supply depots for the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and with which he beat British explorer Dr Vivian Fuchs Sno-Cats to the South Pole on 3 January 1958.
