to my understandung this strong "fascist" hypothesis is hypebole. he was member of a conservative student association, however those were prohibited by the Nazis. correct is that he was a conservative engineer who happened to be intelligent and live in that era, and who was lucky enough to work in his domain instead of dying a cannon fodder somewhere. did they build weapons? sure thing. does that make him a convinced fascist? certainly not. he wasn't even member of the NSDAP party. here is a short biography based off complete archive material: Deutsche Biographie - Zuse, Konrad https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/gnd118637436.html | |||||||||||||||||

Where did I mention he was a fascist or a nazi? There's a huge difference between "a conservative engineer who happened to be intelligent and live in that era" and leading a weapons lab attracting enormous amounts of funding, and fantasizing about how computing could be used to advance race science research. | |||||||||||||||||
