 Wilhelm Canaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm considered himself to be a distant descendent of the Greek Admiral, freedom fighter and politician Constantine Kanaris but the exact genealogical connection remains uncertain.
Wilhelm Franz Canaris (January 1, 1887 in Aplerbeck near Dortmund– April 9, 1945 at Flossenbürg concentration camp) was head of the German military intelligence service, the Abwehr, for much of World War II.
Canaris also intervened to save a number of victims of Nazi persecution, including hundreds of Jews, many of whom were given token training as "agents" of the Abwehr and issued papers allowing them to escape Nazi Germany.

 Wilhelm Wundt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (August 16, 1832–August 31, 1920) was a German physiologist and psychologist.
Wundt subscribed to a "psychophysical parallelism" (which entirely excludes the possibility of a mind-body/cause-effect relationship), which was supposed to stand above both materialism and idealism.
Titchener, a two-year resident of Wundt's lab and one of Wundt's most vocal "proponents" in the United States, is responsible for several English translations and mistranslations of Wundt's works that supported his own views and approach, which he termed structuralism and claimed was wholly consistent with Wundt's position.

 Wilhelm Fabry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm Fabry (also William Fabry, Guilelmus Fabricius Hildanus, or Fabricius von Hilden) (June 25, 1560 in Hilden?-1634).
His wife, Marie Colinet (Fabry), was a midwife-surgeon who perfected the techniques in Germany of cesarean section delivery (which hadn't changed since the days of Julius Caesar) and who was the first (in 1624) to use a magnet to extract metal from a patient's eye (a technique still in use today).
His Observationum et curationum chirurgicarum centuriae, published postumously in 1641, is the best collection of case records of the century and gives clear insight into the variety and methods of his surgical practice.

 Synthetic Theory of Evolution: Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Model
his definition of evolution was developed largely as a result of independent work in the early 20th century by Godfrey Hardy, an English mathematician, and Wilhelm Weinberg, a German physician.
However, since it is highly unlikely that any of these seven conditions, let alone all of them, will occur in the real world, evolution is the inevitable result.
Through mathematical modeling, they concluded that gene pool frequencies are inherently stable but that evolution should be expected in all populations virtually all of the time.
