By the time the Nazi interlude in German history came to a close, almost everything in the country had been destroyed. But, despite the millions of refugees and wrecked homes, and the dereliction of German industry, it was all rebuilt surprisingly quickly. Germany once more became a leading technological nation. German artists and writers emerged from hiding and resumed their work. But one thing was never repaired. When the Nazis took over Germany, German science was the best in the world. Despite all efforts to revive it, it has never recovered. This book looks at the often dubious work German scientists undertook during the Nazi era, especially in the fields of biology, medicine, aeronautics and nuclear physics, and chronicles the ultimate decline and death of German science
