You have an error in caption of Hahn-the-guitarist picture. Otto Hahn travelled to frontlines in WWI when he was part of poison gas unit headed by Fritz Haber.
By the time of WWII Hahn was too old and to renowned to sit on the spare of an army truck. He also despised Nazis, resigned in protest when Haber and Meitner were fired as Jews. He helped to save a number of people from Nazis so I doubt he would ever volunteer himself for the nazi war effort.
Yep, typed one I too much. He was indeed going to Ypres with Haber.
