Abstract

Germany and German science underwent seismic upheavals from the start of World War I to the end of World War II. The political history exemplifies nationalistic aggression. The scientific history showcases breath-taking insights into understanding nature. Both histories revolutionized the world's future. How did the individual scientist maintain his focus and discipline to make these break-throughs in the midst of chaos? The lives of Max Born and his friends and colleagues give a glimpse into what they endured and what they accomplished.
