Good German Science was a reaction to Einstein's theories that led to the atomic bomb.

Update: it was actually German Physics

The current push appears to be against global climate change and evolution. Pity about gravity.

3. Longer explanation

Back in Nazi times, mostly due to anti-semitism, Einstein and other Jewish scientists' work was considered discredited.

I can't find the exact quote but it was along the lines of "good German science is based upon experimentation leading to a conclusion. Jewish science is based upon theory"

Getting closer, turns out it was actually called "German Physics"

The most famous example is the "German Physics" movement by a small group of physicists trying to ideologize physical research.
