Shoestring Start. The first classes met at the Free University in 1948, in a handful of shoddy houses and what was left of the research buildings of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute.

Following the first loan, K-F tapped...
Died. Ex-Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor August Ernst von Hohenzollern, 69, eldest son of the late Kaiser Wilhelm II, great-grandson of Britain's Queen Victoria; of a heart ailment; in Hechingen, southwest Germany.

In 1923, he returned to Germany, hoping to succeed his deposed father, instead bowed to Hitler, joined the Nazis. Near the end of World War II, the French found Wilhelm hiding in Austria...
