“…He successfully portrayed his conversion to the Waffen-SS as an involuntary detachment; his activity as leading pathologist with the Reichsarzt SS was not discussed. Thus, he managed—like many other National Socialists [ 31 ], including pathologists [ 32 , 33 ]—to pass through denazification without harm and to continue his professional career. Soon the term “service in the Waffen-SS” was changed slightly to “service in the Wehrmacht,” and “internment as a member of the SS” became a “normal” captivity of war (Fig.…”

“…His body was examined at the Institute of Pathology. It can be assumed that Sachs assisted his superior and head of the institute, Professor Herwig Hamperl, who performed the autopsy [ 33 ]. In the following weeks a wave of arrests and terror swept over the protectorate, in which the Germans, among other things, destroyed the village of Lidice and shot the male inhabitants.…”

“…“This corresponded to my own attitude that a scientific institute was there for work and not for politicizing” [ 51 ]. Perhaps Hamperl did not want to risk too much at the time, since he was still working on his “clean slate” and posing as an apolitical scientist himself [ 33 ].…”

During the Second World War, the German Wehrmacht and the SS tested various chemical warfare agents on prisoners of concentration camps. The SS needed a pathologist to do this. Therefore, Reichsarzt SS Ernst-Robert Grawitz recruited the 32-year-old Hans Wolfgang Sachs. Despite his position as senior pathologist at the office of the Reichsarzt SS, Sachs was spared interrogation and prosecution after 1945, although the prosecution presented a document about chemical warfare and human experiments during the Nuremberg medical trial. In this, Sachs was named as a participant in so-called “N-Stoff” (chlorine trifluoride) experiments. Little is known about Sachs to this day. This article is intended to close this gap. Of particular interest are the motives and reasons why Sachs joined the party and the SS, as well as his career after 1945.

“…Formed the existing coexistence and complementary mode of multiple types of interactive advertising, and its advertising performance and publishing methods often adopt new technologies. Among them, the development of online interactive advertising is the fastest, and the advantages of new technologies have gradually begun to play a strong communication charm, and gradually integrated into all aspects of life through effective supervision of the application of online interactive advertising [13]. As shown in Figure 2: As shown in Figure 2, with the mature development, mutual integration, and rapid popularization of computer technology, Internet technology, and wireless digital communication technology, the rapid rise of digital media has become possible [14].…”

With the development of science and technology and the continuous strength of Chinese spiritual civilization, digital media patterns have penetrated into various fields and played a central role in them. This article studies the endless emergence of various new media, and the channels of information dissemination are becoming more and more abundant. With the development of science and technology, new media are gradually derived, such as: IPTV, electronic magazines, etc., which have developed on the basis of traditional media. But there is a qualitative difference from traditional media. Digital media has a profound impact on mass society.This article proposes that digital media has become the most important means of communication in the information society. The digital media creative industry and the country's economic development have formed a close relationship of interdependence and mutual promotion. Based on the interactive digital media model generation technology, the research of artistic virtual and real scene analysis is the main issue today. The experimental results of this paper show that through the experimental investigation and analysis in 2019 and 2020, it is found that the application trend of company A and B in the virtual reality situation has increased significantly. The application rate of company A and B in 2019 reached about 43%, but the trend is not unstable. However, in 2020, it can be clearly seen that the application rate of companies A and B in applying digital media patterns to virtual and real scenarios has stabilized, exceeding 35% every month. It can be seen in the text below that when the four models are in different periods, the value of the optimal solution is different, and when the model is at 0.1 and 31, the optimal solution appears.Experiments show that digital media is widely used in the analysis of virtual and real scenarios. Based on the new research field formed by the fusion and intersection of digital media patterns, starting with the changes in the main body, objects, tools and forms of virtual and real scene communication in the context of digital media, it conducts in-depth research on the creation of artistic virtual and real scenes from many aspects.

For some years now, there has been a dispute in Berlin Pankow about renaming the “Robert‐Rössle‐Straße.” The pathologist is accused of an opportunistic attitude regarding his behaviour and his scientific work under National Socialism. In his research, especially that on a “pathology of the family,” Robert Rössle is said to have followed the racial‐hygienic paradigm of the Nazi era. He is to have used questionable methods and is subject to the reproach of having profited from his adaptation to the system scientifically and as a private citizen. The dispute over the naming of the street can be described as “dissonant memory,” impeding a harmonious culture of remembrance. It is suggested that this dispute – regardless of whether the street is renamed or not – be used productively in the sense of a reflexive historical consciousness to get on Rössle's track and illuminate the factual and personal entanglements of his network from different perspectives.
