I agree, that the link does not work directly. Search arxiv.org for "Ivan Todorov"
and you might find his paper on Heisenberg. A PDF is involved, which might account
for the difficulty.

Hilbert in the 1930's

Hilbert is said to have made a pro-Nazi remark in the 1930's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.139.179.195 (talk) 17:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That has been suggested before, but I've never seen any sources of it. Do you have a good source? (John User:Jwy talk) 17:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
See Constance Reid's biography, mentioned in the "Secondary Literature". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.232.88 (talk) 10:14, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There was a plebiscite in Germany on the 19/8/1934. A pro-Hitler declaration appeared in a German paper,
made by German scientists, on the previous day. Unfortunately, I have no access to copies of German newspapers, going back to
18/8/1934.See http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0505235 Hilbert is not mentioned as being one of those refusing to make a
pro-Hitler declaration.
