Cyrano4747 posted:This is really overblown by a lot of people and didn't factor into much. The "Deutsche Physik" movement was the result of a relatively small group of physicists getting a nationalistic hair up their asses in WW1 and taking the road down to poisonous anti-Semitism once Einstein's theories became heavily debated. There is a lot of stuff mixed in, including professional rivalries, but they were never more than a fringe force. They tried to hitch their wagon to the Nazis in a big way after 1932 but that didn't go anywhere, mostly because Heisenberg was a pretty big proponent of Einstein's work and was pretty vital to German physics research once the Jewish scientists lost their jobs. Note that this wasn't because of "Jewish science" but because of the general policy of the NSDAP to kick Jews out of academia. It included philosophers, historians, etc. along with the scientists.
