Oral history interview with Albrecht Unsl̲d, 1978 June 6.
Family background; education at T bingen University; thesis on the Schrd̲inger Theory at Universitt̃ M nchen (1927), influence of Arnold Sommerfeld, Werner Heisenberg. Potsdam experiments inspired by Karl Schwarzschild, J. Robert Emden; Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium and curve of growth. Spent 1928 at Mt. Wilson. Return to Germany to teach physics during Depression; use of microphotometer, the Coude spectrograph; analysis of Tau Scorpii. Pre-war professorship at Yerkes Observatory with Otto Struve; line profile information, stellar composition. WW II return to Universitt̃ Kiel, star temperature detection, solar spectrum analysis, elements/energy production. Isolation and destruction of German physics, anti-German attitude. Remarks on history of science, views on contemporaries and astrophysical (radio) research; fate of correspondence. Also prominently mentioned are: Wilhelm Heinrich Walter Baade, Brueck, Robert Hooke, Hans Rosenberg, Henry Norris Russell, Erwin Schrd̲inger, A. Wilkens; International Astronomical Union, Pd̃agogische Hochschule "Karl Liebknecht" Wissenschaftlich-Technisches Zentrum, Universitt̃ Hamburg, Universitt̃ Kiel, and Universitt̃ M nchen.
