Do you think that Einstein's glory/fame is a bit over emphasized?

I know that Albert Einstein was a great physicist, but to look at it so where a lot of others. I cannot begin to name the number of scientists who have made major discoveries and eye-opening inventions and even received noble prizes for them, yet they were over-shadowed. However Einstein's greatest achievement was perhaps the theory of relativity. I know this was a very very important discovery but so were others not in physics( for ex genetics). And frankly i find that works in Physics are more credited than works in Biology or Chemistry ( DNA was a major break through and perhaps Crick was the only guy in that subject to be recognized by many). But coming back to the question I think Einstein's fame escalated mainly due to his participation in the nuclear fall out in Japan in World War 2. If it weren't for that Einstein would perhaps be a broke scientist like all of the others and his work buried with him. What do you think?
