This contribution gives a short overview of the history of fracture research and highlights G.R. Irwin`s struggle for recognition of fracture mechanics to become a universally accepted discipline in science and engineering. Many aspects presented in this paper derive from discussions with Professor G.R. Irwin during numerous professional and private visits of the author to the Irwin family and a careful study of the private archive of Dr. Irwin during the past two decades. 145 refs.
