The Albert Einstein page lists Stark as a Nazi physicist who attempted to discredit Einstein's theories. Is this confirmed? If so, it probably ought to be on the Stark page. --Dante Alighieri 10:23, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yes, see www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERstark.htm. All in all, not a very pleasant character. He was (somewhat!) renowned for disagreeing with everybody else. 22:23 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)


Yup, Stark was a big nazi. I've added some information on his affiliation with National Socialism, and a photo of a Nazi propaganda book I own. I also added the list of his publications, taken from the German Wikipedia entry. Unfortunately, my German isn't good enough to translate all of the names, so someone with a good knowledge of German will have to take up the job... -- Palthrow 2 Jan 2006 (GMT)

Do we have reliable sources that label Stark as an anti-semite? If so, please link them and add category back, thanks.--68.9.116.87 14:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I read parts of Adolf Hitler: Aims and Personality, by Stark, and judging by Stark's very own words, he certainly was. I'll list it as a source. -- Palthrow 00:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
