Mr Treuherz is right; some Nazi-doctors were involved in the most horrific, unethical research [1] and using its results might be repugnant. He is wrong, however, in assuming that the German research project into homeopathy was unethical. From all we know, it was an honest, thorough and ethical attempt to find the truth. To ignore it totally simply because it was initiated by Nazi politicians is, in my view, not justified.
