Succeeding Context: central pharmacy control also considered the drug. The head of the commission, Friedrich Jung suspected a antivitaminic effect of Thalidomide as derivate of Glutamic acid. It took some time before the increase in Dysmelia at the end of the 1950s was connected with Thalidomide. In 1958 Karl Beck, a former pediatric doctor in Bayreuth wrote an article in a local newspaper claiming a relationship between nuclear weapons testing and cases of dysmelia in children. Based on this, FDP whip Erich Mende requested an official statement from the federal government. For statistical reasons, the main data series used to research dysmelia cases started by chance at the same time as the approval date for Thalidomide. After the nazi regime with its Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring used mandatory statistical monitoring to commit various crimes, western Germany had been very reluctant to monitor Congenital disorders in a similar strict way. The parliamentary report rejected any relation with radioactivity and the abnormal increase of dysmelia. Also the DFG research project installed after the Mende request was not helpful. The project was led by pathologist Franz Büchner who ran the project to propagate his teratological theory. Büchner saw lack of healthy nutrition and behavior of the mothers as being more important than genetic reasons. His counterpart, geneticist Hans Nachtsheim was discredited by his Nazi past while Büchner had openly spoken against the regime's Euthanasia policy. Furthermore, it took a while to install a Surgeon General in Germany; the was not founded until 1962, some months after thalidomide was banned from the market. In Germany approximately 2,500 thalidomide babies were born.
