For a larger entry... Being Jordan a German, someone should try to translate some of the text of the German entry. As I know, although having been in the Nazi party, Jordan (who was of Spanish ascendance) worshipped the work of Jewish scientists during the 30s. Later he got to be politician in the democratic Germany and built one of the most important blocks of German scientists of the after-war era.

I have embarked on an overhaul of this article. Many particulars that I have added can be found in the article by Bert Schroer. I do not have a copy of Bernstein's article to hand. I cannot vouch for the dates of his joining the Nazi party, the SA, or the Luftwaffe (or indeed whether he joined the SA or Luftwaffe to begin with). Schroer states Jordan's war work was only metereological, so the Peenemünde connection may be incorrect or somewhat misleading (implying that he was one of the rocket scientists). Schroer also states that his political tendencies were showing already in the 1920's in some pamphlet writing. Schroer takes a negative view towards Jordan's participation in the CDU post-war, despite having it seems quite a lot of sympathy for him as a scientist and person. This might be a possible NPOV issue.
In the introduction I brought up his personality. This deserves to be fleshed out somewhat, along with how his conservative and likely pro-military family background probably contributed to his falling into the Nazi orbit.
I have not yet consulted the German entry. As it is my German is pretty weak, so I am doubtful I would take away very much from it.
