You will never find a better autograph opportunity than Pascual Jordan's own headed paper from his Hamburg offices with his personal signing dated 8th July 1972. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn 1933, Jordan joined the Nazi party, like Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark, and, moreover, joined an SA unit. He supported the Nazis' nationalism and anti-communism but at the same time, he remained \"a defender of Einstein\" and other Jewish scientists. Jordan seemed to hope that he could influence the new regime; one of his projects was attempting to convince the Nazis that modern physics developed as represented by Einstein and especially the new Copenhagen brand of quantum theory could be the antidote to the \"materialism of the Bolsheviks\". However, while the Nazis appreciated his support for them, his continued support for Jewish scientists and their theories led him to be regarded as politically unreliable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJordan enlisted in the Luftwaffe in 1939 and worked as a weather analyst at the PeenemÔøΩnde rocket center, for a while. During the war he attempted to interest the Nazi party in various schemes for advanced weapons. His suggestions were ignored because he was considered \"politically unreliable\", probably because of his past associations with Jews (in particular: Born, Richard Courant and Wolfgang Pauli) and the so-called \"Jewish physics\". Had Jordan not joined the Nazi party, it is conceivable that he could have won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work with Max Born. Born would go on to win the 1954 Physics Prize with Walther Bothe. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Postcard Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56222755717446,"sku":"170440","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3216\/9030\/files\/pascual-jordan-german-mathematician-ww2-nazi-party-hand-signed-letter-170440-p.jpg?v=1774002427","url":"https:\/\/postcardfinder.co.uk\/products\/pascual-jordan-german-mathematician-ww2-nazi-party-hand-signed-letter","provider":"Postcard Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
