I doubt if a Nazi scientist would ever win a Nobel, but unless a candidate wears his ideology on his shoulder - why would they care?Heisenberg did, though the Nobel came before the Nazi-ism.
The closest thing to a Nazi winning a scientific Nobel Prize was Fritz Haber, who won the prize in Chemsitry for the industrial process to synthesize ammonia. Haber, just two years previously, had been the scientific leader of the German chemical warfare effort, and was personally responsible for pushing the use of chlorine as a war gas. By 1918 there had been thousands killed and millions maimed by chemical warfare agents, and the British in particular thought this was not a good time to be rewarding their mastermind.

That is very interesting ... very sad but also strangely encouraging that - at least once upon a time - Nazi affiliations were not a factor in the Nobels for science.

I had one for a partially ruptured disk - xrays did not find it. I fell asleep. Miraculous device, if you are not claustrophobic.

Amazing.
Four threads up in two days. Over 400 replies made on them.
Not a single abuse report. Not a single 'ping' to the moderators about abuse. Not a single email about abuse.
You know what that tells me?
It tells me that there was never a reason for all the crap that usually goes on in these threads. Good. Let's keep it this way.

From what I've read of him, Stark was a Nazi long before there were Nazis.
