Robert Jungk

When Adolf Hitler came to power, Robert Jungk was arrested and released, moved to Paris, then back to Nazi Germany to work in a subversive press service.

These activities forced him during World War II to move through various cities including Prague, Paris, and Zürich.

Its first Danish edition implied that the German project's workers had been dissuaded from developing a weapon by Werner Heisenberg and his associates, a claim strongly contested by the Danish 1922 Physics Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr.

In 1986 Jungk received the Right Livelihood Award for "struggling indefatigably on behalf of peace, sane alternatives for the future and ecological awareness.

"[2] In 1992 he made an unsuccessful bid for the Austrian presidency on behalf of the Green Party.
