This is a history of one of the oldest and most important
scientific societies, the German Physical Society, during the Nazi
regime and immediate postwar period. When Hitler was appointed
chancellor of Germany in 1933, the Physical Society included
prominent Jewish scientists as members, including Fritz Haber and
Albert Einstein. As Jewish scientists lost their jobs and
emigrated, the Society gradually lost members. In 1938, under
pressure from the Nazi Ministry of Science, Education, and Culture,
the Society forced out the last of its Jewish colleagues. This
action was just the most prominent example of the tension between
accommodation and autonomy that characterized the challenges facing
physicists in the society. They strove to retain as much autonomy
as possible, but tried to achieve this by accommodating themselves
to Nazi policies, which culminated in the campaign by the Society's
president to place physics in the service of the war effort.
