Karl Kretzschmar, Dresden

  The engineer Karl Kretzschmar was regarded in Germany as a specialist in gas turbines. He published scientific papers on his experiments with this new type of propulsion in various journals, including the 1911 issue of the magazine "Der Motorwagen”.
  Although his theoretical approaches to the new technology were quite correct, he was unable to successfully implement them in practice.
