The German Physical Society in the Third Reich
This book details the effects of the Nazi regime on the German Physical Society.
Weimar Culture and Quantum Mechanics
This volume reprints Paul Forman's classic papers on the history of physics in post-World War I Germany and the invention of quantum mechanics. The Forman thesis has become famous as the first argument in favor of the cultural conditioning of scientific knowledge, in particular for its demonstration of the historical connection between the culture of Weimar Germany — known for its irrationality and antiscientism — and the emerging concept of quantum acausality. At the 2007 international conference in Vancouver, Canada, leading historians of physics discussed the implications of the Forman thesis in the historiography of modern science. Their papers collected in this volume represent a cutting-edge research on the history of quantum revolution.

Physics and National Socialism
1 Aim and General Description of the Anthology The purpose of this anthology is to introduce the English speaking public to the wide spectrum of texts authored predominently by physicists portraying the ac tual and perceived role of physics in the Nazi state. Up to now no broad and well balanced documentation of German physics during this time has been available in English, despite the significant role physics has played both politically (e. g. , in weaponry planning) and ideologically (e. g. , in the controversy over the value of theoretical ('Jewish') vs. experimental ('Aryan') physics), and even though prominent figures like the scientist-philosopher and emigre Albert Einstein and the con...

Einstein's German World
The French political philosopher Raymond Aron once observed that the twentieth century "could have been Germany's century." In 1900, the country was Europe's preeminent power, its material strength and strident militaristic ethos apparently balanced by a vital culture and extraordinary scientific achievement. It was poised to achieve greatness. In Einstein's German World, the eminent historian Fritz Stern explores the ambiguous promise of Germany before Hitler, as well as its horrifying decline into moral nihilism under Nazi rule, and aspects of its remarkable recovery since World War II. He does so by gracefully blending history and biography in a sequence of finely drawn studies of Germany...
Physiker zwischen Autonomie und Anpassung
Deutschland war im ersten Drittel des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ein Weltzentrum physikalischer Forschung, insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Theoretischen Physik. Zum institutionellen Netzwerk dieser Hochkultur der Physik gehörte die Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG), eine der ältesten und einflussreichsten wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaften in Deutschland. Die Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten im Januar 1933 bedeutete auch für die Physik einen tiefen Einschnitt. Politische Einflussnahme, die Vertreibung jüdischer Gelehrter und die verstärkt anwendungsbezogene und militärtechnische Ausrichtung der Forschung veränderten die Rahmenbedingungen physikalischer Forschung grundlegen...
