Asperger and Nazis

“contrary to Asperger’s postwar image, he was far from an insular researcher, secluded in his clinic and immune from Nazi influence. Rather, Asperger was active in his milieu; on any given day, he had multiple points of contact with the regime. . . . One can not escape the fact that Asperger worked within a system of mass killing as a conscious participant, very much tied to his world and to its horrors” (Sheffer, 237).
