Jan 3, 2012 at 9:07 comment added Dan Fox As to why Blaschke has not been translated - surely one reason is that the topics he wrote about, such as web geometry or affine differential geometry, have been "unfashionable" (the quotes refer to a preprint of Burstall) in the English speaking world - i.e. US/UK. As you allude to, he was also the president of the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereingigung in the mid to late 1930s, and although was apparently not so aggressive as someone like Bieberbach, was a Nazi party member and by most accounts a supporter of that state. This surely had an effect. Teichmuller has also not been translated.
