Scientist and inventor Wolf Klaphake (1900-67) emigrated from Germany in 1935. This video was part of a website tracing the story of his four-year detention in Australian internment camps during World War II.
Website no longer available. 'A doubtful character' is the first instalment in the series 'Uncommon Lives', which features the biographies of famous and not-so-famous Australians. Drawing extensively on documents and images from the Archives' collection, the website retraces the life of the inventor Wolf Klaphake.
