To always remind of the crimes whenever achievements are pointed out has become a specific art of German historians which has resulted in a number of methodological and theoretical innovations. ...Thus we have created a history of German science, technology and industry which is less shining and less glamorous, sometimes of a German thoroughness, but cautiously depicted and balanced.'\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e Professor Dr. Lutz Budrass, Historisches Institut der Ruhr-Universität Bochum\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProf. Dr.-Ing.
