How true is it that National Socialism led to an ideologically
distorted pseudo-science? What was the relationship between the
regime funding 'useful' scientific projects and the scientists
offering their expertise? And what happened to the German
scientific community after 1945, especially to those who betrayed
and denounced Jewish colleagues? In recent years, the history of
the sciences in the Third Reich has become a field of growing
importance, and the in-depth research of a new generation of German
scholars provides us with new, important insights into the Nazi
system and the complicated relationship between an elite and the
dictatorship. This book portrays the attitudes of scientists facing
National Socialism and war and uncovers the continuities and
discontinuities of German science from the beginning of the
twentieth century to the postwar period. It looks at ideas,
especially the Humboldtian concept of the university; examines
major disciplines such as eugenics, pathology, biochemistry and
aeronautics, as well as technologies such as biotechnology and area
planning; and it traces the careers of individual scientists as
actors or victims.
The striking results of these investigations fill a considerable
gap in our knowledge of the Third Reich but also of the postwar
role of German scientists within Germany and abroad.
