Abstract
I was very lucky my parents could afford to send me to Germany for a surgical residency during the Third Reich. I was looking forward to a career in surgery and research in a medical institution, and the training available in the United States was mostly pretty mediocre. Although there were some spots of good surgery like the Mayo Clinic and the University of Pennsylvania in the 1930s, there was simply nothing in the United States comparable to the prestigious universities in Germany.
