Talk:Eugen Fischer

message: "He was one of those responsible for the Nazi German scientific theories of racial hygiene that legitimized the extermination of Jews, sent an estimated half a million Gypsies to their deaths..." That statement is a non-sequitur. Without going into the controversial question, whether any racially motivated exterminations occured at all. How did the theories of Fischer and co. legitimize the killing of anyone? To my knowledge they didn't, but perhaps someone has a documentary find that points in another direction.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.17.186.102 (talk) 16:54, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  flawed logic let alone facts 

message: The second external link seems to be nothing else then anti-German propaganda. I suggest removal or at least a comment on this. --41.15.102.200 (talk) 16:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The article talks about "experiments" in african prison camps carried out by Eugen Fischer. "As a precursor to his experiments on Jews in Nazi Germany, he also did medical experimentation on African prisoners of war in concentration camps in Namibia that has been referred to as genocide".
Though Fischer was in German South-west Africa at the time, there are no facts stating that he took part in these experiments - he was "researching" the rehoboth people for their "mixed heritage". Though he was clearly racist and later became a member of the nazi pary, the inhumane experimenting seems to have been carried out by another doctor, dr Bofinger, of whom we know very little. (See for example Ousuga & Erichsen, The Kaiser's Holocaust, pp 225-26) If there is any evidence that Fischer took part in these experiments, it would be extremely intresting to know the sources! There are no indications that Fischer took part in "experiments on jews" in Germany (other than skull-measuring and the like). Again, if there are any sources for this claim, they would be of great value!
 
Se also the article on the Herero and Nama genocide, where the same statements are repeated.

Yet, Fischer did publish "The Rehoboth Bastards and the Problem of Miscegenation among Humans (1913)", and Rehoboth remains in Africa. Your problem is with history. If your claim is that Fischer published sans experimental evidence of his own (ie: hearsay), please present your facts.Virago250 (talk) 15:16, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: This comment ignores the fact that the German Red Cross was led by a fanatical nazi, and that the Euthanasia personnel (Action T-4) later became the lead murderers in the Holocaust (Action Reinhardt).74.239.209.92 (talk) 10:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Postwar Controversy 

message: I'm afraid that this article has been heavily edited by a contributor who is the subject of a contributor copyright investigation because of his copying from external sources (including print). (The specific investigation is here.)  While it is common in such cases to revert to the last clean version of an article, that would put this one in fairly bad shape, as the last version before the guy started editing the article is this: 
It would be great if interested editors can help repair this issue. Content that was added by other editors than Virago250 can certainly be retained, as long as it does not build on or modify material he added (since doing so can create a derivative work). The article should be visited after about a week by an administrator addressing copyright problems listings. If anyone is up for rewriting the article in the temporary subpage dedicated to that purpose, it would be much appreciated! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:30, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I take it he was never tried for any war crimes but it's curious that there is absolutely nothing about what became of him or what he did for 20+ years after the end of the war. 160.111.254.17 (talk) 20:30, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
