Karl-Heinrich Riewe

Karl-Heinrich Riewe (26 June 1907—1977) was a German nuclear physicist and a member of the German Physical Society.

Riewe was one of many German nuclear physicists in the former Soviet program of nuclear weapons. After the World War II, Riewe was taken in the custody by the Soviet Union, and held in Russia to work on their nuclear weapons but went onto a strike at a defense facility in 1948 where he was accused of sabotage. He was sentenced to 25 years in the GULAG and disappeared.
