4/5. Despite Dohnanyi's selfless dedication to the musical welfare of his country, events conspired against him. He ill-advisedly made a decision that was to give his enemies the ammunition they needed to vilify his name, and as a result he was accused of Nazi sympathies and branded a war criminal. Today
