Analog photographers may have heard of reciprocity failure, also known as the Schwarzfield effect. To counter this failure you have to increase exposure according to the Schwarzfield law. That's how I know him as a photo collector. But he is probably more famous for his involvement in Einstein's relativity theory. Now the popular believe is that he did the calculations for field equations as an artillery officer in a trench at the eastern front. And he died later in combat. While we know he died of complications of an autoimmune disease. So without going into details what he did exactly as a physicist, I thought it would be interesting to find out what his military career path was. In which unit did he serve and where did he saw combat?

A very interesting image. Oberstleutnant Graf Walther Gustav Lothar von Kielmansegg. Kdr. des RIR 222 July 14, 1869, July 28, 1918 (49) Dounai am dem Somme. He was the patron of the prolific german composer Paul Hindemith during the war. Graf von Kielmannsegg was a great music lover and allowed the formation of a string quartet, which he had to play regularly. Hindemith spends most of the day with intensive rehearsals for the quartet and the regimental band. A very interesting image. Oberstleutnant Graf Walther Gustav Lothar von Kielmansegg.

Great stuff! I did some (not noteworthy) modelling and painting as a kid, so knowing how hard it is, it impresses me even more.

Really impressive! Can you post a photo which shows the scale of these sculptures? Just out of curiosity.

Starting at only £480 ... Sad to to hear about Michael Baldwin, his book Field Grey has a prominent place on my bookshelf.
