Today, the third day, I will look at the pro-Nazi suspicion of a Korean in Germany when An Ik-tae, who wrote the national anthem, was active in Europe. It is alleged that a patriotic burial ground in a cemetery was involved in antihumanistic medical research by Japanese ally Nazi Germany.

The best reporter reports.

<Reporter> Mr. Kim Baekpyeong was recaptured in the United States with the founder's medal of honor in 2009.

During the March 1st Movement, they were buried in the National Cemetery for their contributions to the Declaration of Independence and the participation in the long lived demonstrations.

Frank Hoffman, a German-American and Korean studies researcher, questioned Kim's pro-Nazi suspicion in his book, Koreans in Berlin and Koreans in Germany.

Hoffman says that Kim went to Germany to study medicine and advised his thesis that Eugen Fisher, a eugenics authority who had a decisive influence on Hitler's German national superiority.

Fisher was a director at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, where he conducted anti-human experiments with blood or body parts received at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Hoffman argued that Kim Baekpyeong, who worked at an obstetrics and gynecology hospital, also carried out embryo research at this infamous laboratory.

[Frank Hoffman / Korean Studies Researcher: From the historical data collected, Kim was a skull expert. The skull shape was very important to the Nazi race researchers.]

And in 1947, after the war, in a letter to Fisher, who had been pushed out of power, he reminded him to include Kim Baek-pyeong with other researchers as an old colleague to help each other. Stressed that it was proven. Some scholars question the credibility of Hoffman's research, but if the suspicion is true, criticism that Kim Baek-pyeong was committed to anti-human research after his independence movement was in his teens.

Kim's survivor says he knows only what he has known so far, but does not know that he has cooperated with the Nazis.

The Veterans Affairs Department, which is in the process of publicly verifying the independence of the merit, said that the pro-Nazi activity could be a flaw in Seo Hoon.
