During the first part of the twentieth century, German science led
the world. The most important scientific institution in Germany was
the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, including institutes devoted to
different fields of scientific research. These researchers were not
burdened by teaching obligations and enjoyed excellent financial
and material support. When the National Socialists came to power in
Germany, all of German society, including science, was affected.
The picture that previously dominated our understanding of science
under National Socialism from the end of the Second World War to
the recent past - a picture of leading Nazis ignorant and
unappreciative of modern science and of scientists struggling to
resist the Nazis - needs to be revised. This book surveys the
history of Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes under Hitler, illustrating
definitively the cooperation, if not collaboration, between
scientists and National Socialists in order to further the goals of
autarky, racial hygiene, war, and genocide.
