  A "common" thesis only in a very narrow, and mainly misleading
context. Most people in Europe, and certainly in Germany, understood
very well that the Nazis were ultra-nationalists, and this was
anything but "scientific." Note especially that much of the scientific
community had to flee, and that wasn't only Jews.
