Abstract 

Adolf Butenandt was one of the great biochemists of the last century. He was also a most successful organiser of science. Which price did he have to pay to be a success in the Third Reich? He persistently avoided seeing or hearing the blatant injustice around him. Injustice he knew nothing about did not exist. So he became the perfect model for the postwar generation of German scientists. Is he still a model today?
