Oh....THAT Hartley Shawcross. Thanks for the info.
No, not him.
Uh oh. A check of H.S.' biography shows that he did, in fact, reside in the USA for two very short periods of his life, although I don't think he ever became a citizen.. I didn't realize that. But he is generally thought of as being European, so I don't think a correction is in order.

Scientist?
He was not trained as a scientist but his major claim to fame would have to be called rather scientific.
That should be a big clue.

Germany?
I have to say he was ethnically German, although there was no country of Germany for most of his life. I believe he was born in Prussia but I may be mistaken. He lived in several non-Germanic European countries also.
