Lenard was Hertz's lab assistant at the university of Bonn and thus he was introduced to the photoelectric effect from Hertz
[edit] Deutsche Physik, anti-British
I restored the information about his anti-British sentiments and his pro-Nazi sentiments. I've added just a few references on this -- there are many more which could be added. See the page on Deutsche Physik if you want more information on this. Removing it because he didn't trash British physicists in some book he later wrote is not justified and looks like a whitewash. --Fastfission 15:01, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish? Proof?
It is a blot to portray a Nazi anti-Semitic scientist as Jewish. It makes no sense. Is there a more credible proof for this? It makes no sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Comradesandalio (talk • contribs) 00:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, that he's a Nazi anti-semite - that's a pretty big blot right there. My POV aside, I wonder about the article's statement that "Austrian records show that Lenard was actually born a jew". 1) he was an advisor and Nazi chief of physics, so he would have been thorougly vetted by the Nazis; 2) the reference cited is a 1962 interview with 2 physicists who fled nazi germany. How are they proof that he was Jewish and how do they know about Austrian records? I think this should be removed unless a better reference can be provided. 165.189.169.190 (talk) 18:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
