Belgian American Educational Foundation - Wikipedia

During World War I, from October 1914, Herbert Hoover organized the Committee for Relief in Belgium (USA) and the Commission for Relief in Belgium (Belgium). After the war, the University Foundation, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_A…
and on 9 January 1920, the B.A.E.F., were founded with the budget remaining in the hands of the Commission after five years of relief work. The Belgian American Educational Foundation became the heir of the Commission for Relief in Belgium.
Today, the Hoover Foundation is still divided into two entities: one is still dedicated to the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Brussels[1] and the second and biggest one is dedicated to the development of the University of Louvain
(UCLouvain) primarily in Louvain-la-Neuve and Brussels, and the KU Leuven in Leuven.

Erich Schumann - Wikipedia

Biological WarfareEdit
Although Hitler had ordered that biological warfare should be studied only for the purpose of defending against it, Schumann lobbied for him to be persuaded otherwise: "America must be attacked en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Sch…
simultaneously with various human and animal epidemic pathogens, as well as plant pests." The plans were never adopted due to opposition by Hitler. ImageImageImageImage
In the German scientific community's defense of its conduct during the war, the military's Schumann- and Diebner-led aspects of the Uranverein were minimized, ridiculed, and ascribed to Nichtskönner (incompetent scientists) and leadership that owed its positions to politics. ImageImageImageImage
