His son Alfred was later to find and filch the sought-for secret from British forgemasters while posing as a frivolous visiting baron, Herr Schropp. After he set the Essen smokestacks belching, Alfred devoted seven years to casting a cannon in steel instead of the traditional bronze; the weapon later pulverized the French in the six-month...
