Acknowledgments
Center, the Archives of the Humboldt University, the
Archives of the Max Planck Society, and the State
Prussian Library in Berlin; the State Archives in
Hamburg; the Federal Archives in Koblenz and Potsdam;
the German Museum, the Institute for Contemporary
History, and the Max Planck Institute for Physics and
Astrophysics in Munich; and the National Archives and
Records Services in Washington, D.C, Special thanks go
to Helmut Drubba for sending me a great deal of valuable
information.
I received financial support for my research from the
Alexander Humboldt Foundation, the Berlin Program of the
Social Science Research Council, and Union College.
Ulrich Albrecht, Andreas Heinemann-Gruder, and the Free
University welcomed me as a guest in Berlin, as did
Baudouin Jurdant, Josiane Olff-Nathan, and the rest of
GERSULP at the University of Strasbourg. Perhaps most
important is the support I have always received from the
History Department at Union College.
My colleague Monika Renneberg and I have recently edited
a collection of essays on science, technology, and
National Socialism.1
I cannot improve on
the dedication we used in that book, so I would like to
repeat it here.
This book is dedicated to all those critical voices who
have tried to illuminate this ambivalent chapter of
history, but were unappreciated, ignored, and
discouraged. |
