‘Fritz Albert Max Heppner’s name presumably appeared for the first time in English print in the 1940s.He is introduced there as ‘German domiciled in England’, and his patent record actually confirms that he presumably left (or was forced to leave) Germany and his home-town Berlin-Charlottenburg as part of the persecution of Jews before or latest during 1936, Fig. 5.1(l). Thereafter, his patents indicate several living stations in England, among these a presumed stay in an internment camp on the Isle of Man in 1940, Fig. 5.7(l). His first identifiable patent application in the name of his new employer Armstrong Siddeley MotorsLtd—US2,360.130—has a priority date 26 March 1941 and shows in principle, surprisingly, the counter-rotating (CR) BMW 002 concept, which in German technical literature is associated with the name of Hellmut Weinrich, Figs. 5.1 (r) and Fig. 5.11 (top).
