Hunt may have had an encounter with the alleged Abominable Snowman or Yeti of the Himalaya. One night, while camping in the Himalaya, he sensed the presence of a large animal near his tent. When he went out to investigate, he vaguely saw a large creature scurrying away. When later asked why he had not shot at it, he replied, "that would have been murder." On another occasion, in 1951, Hunt's team found and photographed mysterious footprints in the mountain snow allegedly made by the yeti.
In 1953, Hunt was chosen as the leader of the ninth British expedition to Mount Everest and the first to make a successful ascent. Hunt selected two climbing pairs to attempt to reach the summit. The first pair (Tom Bourdillon and Charles Evans) turned back after becoming exhausted high on the mountain. The next day, the expedition made its second and final assault on the summit with second climbing pair. The summit was eventually reached at 11:30 am on 29 May 1953 by the New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay from Nepal climbing the South Col Route. News of the expedition's success reached London on the morning of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.

Wolfgang Schmieder was a German music librarian, and musicologist. Schmieder was born in Bromberg. In 1950, he published the BWV, or Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis ("Bach Works Catalogue"), a catalog of musical works by Johann Sebastian Bach. The numbering system used in the BWV has since become a nearly universal standard, used by scholars and musicians around the world. (BWV numbers are sometimes referred to as "Schmieder" numbers, so that it is possible to encounter the designation S 971 as BWV 971 for the Italian Concerto.) Schmieder served as the Special Advisor for Music for the City and University Library at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main from April 1942 until his retirement in 1963. He lived in Freiburg im Breisgau until his death in November 1990 at the age of 89.
