Talk:Gustav Doetsch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Dr. Gustav Doetsch (November 29, 1892 – June 9, 1977) was a German mathematician, aviation researcher, decorated war veteran, and Nazi supporter." Woah, that last part came out of nowhere. While the first three items are related to his employment, the last is about inferred personal beliefs. Moreover the article claims that "...by 1937 his support for National Socialism waned." So it's rather jarring to read "Nazi supporter" in the one sentence description of a mathematician and aviator's life. Given the emotionally charged nature of the term, this strikes me as an attempt at a smear and thus in contradiction to NPOV. 140.180.22.4 (talk) 19:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
