Didn't germany also experience severe brain drain around, oh, the late 1930s or so?

Something about ... people with the common sense and sufficient means to survive elsewhere fleeing in droves because they saw the writing on the wall and knew shit was about to get ugly?

Read your physics textbook. There were so many S tier German physicists in the first part of the twentieth century. They remade physics in their own image.

And a whole bunch of them left in the 30s. Quite a few ended up working on the Manhattan project. Werner Heisenberg didn't leave, and eventually headed up the Nazi nuclear weapons program.

That’s how the world got international style architecture and modernist design. All those left-leaning Bauhäuslers who literally didn’t have a future in the thousand-year Reich.

Apparently the largest collection of Bauhaus architecture is in Tel Aviv.
