Friedrich Wegener

[1] Specifically, he was a member of the Sturmabteilung, a paramilitary branch of the Nazi party that participated in violent conflicts.

[1] He conducted autopsies on Jewish concentration camp inmates and the facility he worked in performed experiments on prisoners.

[9] After revelations about his Nazi Party past became common knowledge, the disease has been referred to as Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA).

The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) awarded Wegener a “master clinician” prize in 1989.

[1] After his Nazi past was discovered in 2000, the ACCP rescinded the prize and campaigned to rename Wegener's granulomatosis to ANCA-associated granulomatous vasculitis.
