Werner Heisenberg: Germany’s Maligned Scientific Genius

By John Wear ∙ January 26, 2020

German physicist Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) is widely regarded as one of the greatest physicists in world history. His contributions were crucial to the development of quantum physics during the first half of the 20^th Century. Unfortunately, Heisenberg’s reputation has been assailed because he worked on Germany’s atomic-bomb project during World War II. This article shows that Heisenberg’s slighted reputation is not justified, and that he risked his life in an effort to prevent the use of atomic bombs during the war.

The Mauthausen Trial: A Disgrace to American Justice

By John Wear ∙ November 10, 2019

Germany, Bastion of Europe: Stalin’s War of Conquest

By John Wear ∙ October 26, 2019

Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 is widely presented by historians as an unprovoked act of aggression by Germany. Hitler is typically described as an untrustworthy liar who maliciously abrogated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact he had signed with the Soviet Union. Historians usually depict Joseph Stalin as a hapless victim of Hitler’s aggression, but the Soviet archives show that the Soviet Union had amassed the largest and most-powerful army in history. Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union was a desperate preemptive attack to prevent the Soviet Union from conquering all of Europe.

By John Wear ∙ October 2, 2019
