A former Nazi scientist who was linked to experiments on prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp in Germany has been ousted from the US International Space Hall of Fame.

Hubertus Strughold, who had been honoured in 1978 for work in developing the spacesuit and space capsule and for his contributions to space medicine, was removed last week by unanimous vote of the New Mexico Museum of Space History's commission.
The German-born scientist was brought to the US by the military after World War II to work on aerospace projects. He died in 1987.

The removal process began last autumn after a museum visitor noticed Strughold's name in its hall of fame and notified the New Mexico Anti-Defamation League.
The league uncovered records of Strughold's past and presented them to the commission. Strughold was linked to experiments on concentration camp prisoners in the 1940s as the Nazi director of medical research for aviation,
Strughold's name was removed from Brooks Air Force Base's aero-medical library in 1995 and his picture was removed from the mural "The World History of Medicine" at Ohio State University in 1993.
