The most important scientific institution in Germany was the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, including institutes devoted to different fields of scientific research. Because these institutions were not connected to universities, researchers in them 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 to further the goals of autarky, racial hygiene, war, and genocide."--Publisher's description OP - 477 CN - Q49.K14174 H45 2009eb SN - 9780511576355 SN - 0511576358 SN - 9780511534331 SN - 0511534337 SN - 9780521879064 SN - 052187906X SN - 9780521879 SN - 9789780521875 SN - 9780521181549 SN - 0521181542 KW - Kaiser Wilhelm-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften.
