Rudolph Hartmann

Rudolph Hartmann was an English engineer and anarchist of the 20th century. As captain of the airship Attila, Hartmann conducted a 1920 bombing campaign that destroyed much of London, and caused the death of his own mother. The news of his mother's death and a mutiny inspired Hartmann to self-destruct his ship, killing himself and all aboard.
==Biography==
===Anarchist activities===
In 1910, Hartmann, in revenge for repression of Berlin anarchists, attempted to bomb the German Crown Prince as he crossed Westminster Bridge. The prince's carriages evaded the bomb placed in the car, but the detonation killed sixty people whom had been on the bridge. Hartmann and his second in command Michael Schwartz attempted to flee the United Kingdom for Holland, but was believed to have perished when his cargo-boat sank in a storm.
In reality, they were rescued by a fishing boat and taken to Dieppe, and from there travelled to Switzerland. Once in Berne, they began laying the groundwork for the construction of the Attila. (PROSE: Hartmann the Anarchist)
