Technical University of Brunswick and the Rise of Fascism (A)
內容大綱
As head of the Technical University (TU) of Brunswick, Professor Schmitz faced demands from the Ministry of Education to accept the appointment of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as professor at the university. The proposal had exclusively political objectives, specifically to fulfill a legal precondition for Hitler to be able to stand in the forthcoming presidential elections of the country. The professors of the university were appalled by the proposal because it conflicted with their values, but they had no formal power to prevent the appointment. Left formally powerless, the professors need to consider what actions might be possible and appropriate and what informal means they might use to influence the decision.
