Replace "jew physics" with "woke physics" and you see the idiocy of this.
Foot, meet gun.
Fascism always trends to incompetency because it is stupid.
Of course, the Nazis turned out to be anti-intellectuals to an extreme degree too and whether it was by concentration camp mistreatment or using them as cannon fodder (or just sending them to the Russian front and leaving them to freeze to death), the Nazis eventually killed most of those scientists, including outside of Germany, who chose to remove Jewish scientists before being asked.
Or from … history.
The Germans chose to extremely underinvest in their nuclear program to maintain financial and political support for their rocket program.
The rocket program was so fundamentally different from the Manhattan Project it’s hard to see the Germans doing anything like it.
Oppenheimer was Jewish, but very Americanized.
Bohr was working on radar for the Nazis. Einstein had surprisingly little knowledge of nuclear physics, and famously rejected key parts of quantum physics.
The Germans had great nuclear scientists. They simply weren’t willing to spend the money it took to cold the bomb.
The Nazis drawing a distinction between "Jewish mathematics" and "German mathematics" was also very real.
It's hard to imagine these policies had no effect on their ability to do research, and that it was purely a matter of funding.
"Boris Stoicheff, wrote how the mathematician Edmund Landau was 'physically prevented from entering his classroom by about seventy of his students, some wearing SS uniforms.' They demanded 'German mathematics' instead of 'Jewish mathematics.' One estimate is that the 15% of scientists in Germany who had been fired accounted for about 60% of the country’s physics-based publications."
