== Suggested Replacement Text for NPOV Issue == 

 I appreciate the role of Phil Bridger and TransporterMan in this issue. From their suggestions, I propose replacing the text in questions as noted herein. 

 For the sentence in the introduction, I propose: His role in the project was obfuscated after the war by the German physics community’s defense of its conduct during the war. 

  
 For the Post World War II section I propose the following (in Ref  #17, in the Wikipedia article, the parenthetical text on the Goudsmit/Heisenberg controversy will be elimianted): 

 In the German scientific community’s defense of its conduct during the war, the military’s Schumann and Diebner led aspects of the Uranverein were minimized, ridiculed, and ascribed to Nichtskönner (incompetent scientists) and leadership that owed its positions to politics. Additionally, the Heisenberg component of the project was made to appear as the leading and dominant element of the project. The motivations of the German scientists were to distance themselves from the military aspects of the Uranverein and, in the denazification environment, also distance themselves from those who had visible positions under National Socialism. Regarding Schumann’s scientific abilities, they are, however, attested to by the fact that members of his Habilitation committee for experimental and theoretical physics at the University of Berlin included the eminent scientists Max von Laue, Walther Nernst, and Max Planck, and the Habilitation was well before Hitler came to power. 

 After the war, Schumann wrote a book to get out his view of the German nuclear energy project, but publication was blocked by the British occupation authorities. Telling of some of the story from this perspective would have to wait until his right-hand man in the HWA, Kurt Diebner, published his book in 1957. 

 Again from 1951, Schumann was director of the Helmholtz Institute of Sound Psychology and Medical Acoustics in Berlin. He died in Homberg-Hülsa. 

  
 I look forward to commentary by Phil Bridger, TransporterMan, or anyone else, and a resolution to this issue. Let me know. Thanks.
