Some of the scientists that flee Nazi Germany include Albert Einstein, Hans Bethe, James Franck, Edward Teller, John von Neumann, Leo Szilard, Rudolf Peierls, and Klaus Fuchs.

Although some scientists returned to Germany after the end of the second World War while most of them stayed back in their adopted country.
