Tragic Life of a Genius
The inventor, despite being a genius, experienced a tragic life. His groundbreaking idea enabled the production of ammonia without a separate hydrogen electrolysis process. However, his controversial gas invention led to his wife committing suicide by shooting herself in the heart as he left for the war frontlines, leaving her and his 13-year-old son behind. He witnessed his Jewish scientist friends being arrested during World War Two and fled himself, eventually dying of heart failure, likely due to immense stress.
