The comments are as interesting as the article. I routinely use Aspirin, both for myself and as a pain reliever for my senior dogs, and the issues over it's origin in Nazi Germany have always troubled me.

Rest easy there - Aspirin was first synthesised in 1853 and first marketed under the Aspirin banner in 1899.
Bayer and the Nazi party may or may not have conspired to conceal the name of the inventor, but that was revisionist history, not the the actual invention of the drug.

Right? Where did the first successful organ transplants take place?
Where did many ex-Nazis flee to following the end of WWII?
See any correlation?
