Why Is Henry Brose Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Henry Herman Leopold Adolph Brose was an Australian physicist and translator. During the First World War, he was interned as a civilian prisoner in Germany. He was the first Australian to be awarded a PhD from the University of Oxford. Brose held the Lancaster-Spencer Chair of Physics at the University of Nottingham from 1931-1935, and he translated a number of key physics texts from German into English. His translations of crucial German texts on Einstein's theory of General Relativity have been essential for the theory's reception in the English-speaking world. In 1935, Brose moved to Australia where he engaged in cancer research. During the Second World War, he was suspected of sympathy with the Nazi regime. He was interned in Australia from 1940-1943, which ended his academic career.
