ALAMOGORDO, New Mexico (AP) -- A former Nazi scientist who was linked to experiments on prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp in Germany has been ousted from the International Space Hall of Fame.

Hubertus Strughold, who had been honored in 1978 for work in developing the spacesuit and space capsule and for his contributions to space medicine, was removed last week by unanimous vote of the New Mexico Museum of Space History's commission.

The German-born scientist was brought to this country by the U.S. military after World War II to work on aerospace projects. He died in 1987.

The removal process began last fall after a museum visitor noticed Strughold's name in its hall of fame and notified the New Mexico Anti-Defamation League, said Susan Seligman, the league's regional director.

The league uncovered records of Strughold's past and presented them to the commission. Strughold was linked to experiments on concentration camp prisoners in the 1940s as the Nazi director of medical research for aviation, Seligman said, though she said she did not know of him personally conducting experiments.

Strughold's name was removed from Brooks Air Force Base's aero-medical library in 1995 and his picture was removed from the mural "The World History of Medicine" at Ohio State University in 1993, the Anti-Defamation League said

he obviously did something worthwhile to get in the hall of fame. the motherf*cker is dead, just leave him in the hall of fame.

it's not like he's alive to give a **** about them removing him.

they should leave him in the hall of fame, although he was a nazi and did bad things, he still had many achievements that were good for people

**torrobinson** · 05-20-2006, 08:24 PM

It's no secret that space exploration, specifically the science and understanding which was produced by achieving the goals set in the past, has paved the way for many of the every-day technologies we use.

Edit: hmm, I wonder if other german scientists are under scrutiny now? Much of the 40's and 50's era tech involved ex-german scientists.

You were taken from space to save this forum. That is why going into space has helped people, my son.

THATS more than "going into space". What they did to him was WRONG.

**MasterMagneto** · 05-21-2006, 07:19 PM

Thats rediculous. What he did during the nazi siege has nothing to do with his accomplishments in space exploration.

No iball I'm jewish.

**Chrono6456** · 06-17-2006, 10:41 AM

Hmm, in this case, we might as well go back to propeller airplanes as the german nazis developed the first jet engines, darn

EDIT-heh, i didnt know this thread was so old
