Rudolph Schindler (1888-1968) was a German doctor widely regarded as the "father of [the field of] gastroscopy. He wrote the textbook "Lehrbuch und Atlas der Gastroskopie" (Textbook and Atlas of Gastroscopy), and between 1928 and 1932 worked, with the Berlin-based technician Georg Wolf, on the development of the first semi-flexible gastroscope. With the rise of the Nazi party he was arrested, and upon his release in 1934 made his way to Chicago, where he worked until 1943. Wikipedia
