I dont believe that there was one there. For most of the time the Action Reinhard camps ran with one or two officers only.

If the SS or Trawnikis needed a doctor I guess they'd go to the local quack. If one of the prisoner work Jews needed a doctor I'd guess that their fate might be easily worked out.

There was a Doctor runnning treblinka for a while. His name was Imfried Erbel. Gained experience with t4 and was an incompetent. His exploits include ordering gassings prior to the old bodies having been removed and creating a pile of worm blood and shit, and bodies and stunk out a 20 kilometer radius. The SS were not happy and the victims suffered even more under him as they immediately knew what avaited them from the second they got there. He also liked to leave bodies strewn round the train platform. Very often victims would have to sit naked on the grounds for anything up to three days waiting for there turn in the gas chamber.


When Christian Wirth arrived he swore at him, whipped him in the face (so the legend goes) and relieved him of his "duties"

LOL

Apparently :lol: he (wirth) whipped many of his staff and became such an embarrasment that globocknick (head of op reinhard) refused to admit him to his office. he found himself dead shortly after. Ambushed on a road in his vehicle by partisans ???, There were no less than 50 bullets in his body and evidence of at least 100 shots fired at him

Heres some more on the doctor from Schmauser

Irmfried Eberl was born on the 8th September 1910. When he was a student of medicine he joined the Nazi Party on the 8th September 1931 & then the SS. On the 1st February 1940 he became the Director of the clinic at Brandenburg while the Euthanasia Project was well underway killing the mental & physically disabled. From February to September 1940, Eberl killed 9'772 people. He then transfered to the Bernberg clinic and was responsible for killing 8'601 people.
In the summer of 1942 Eberl became the Commandant of Treblinka Extermination Camp. Here he adopted a system so barbaric that even the SS complained. Eberl would leave the bodies taken from the gas chambers and put them in full view of the arriving prisoners.
His successor Stangl described it "Treblinka that day, was the most horrible than thing i have seen for all the duration of the Third Reich... the stench was indescribable everywhere bodies were decomposing, from hundreds, to thousands ..."
Removed from the SS in 1942, Eberl Committed Suicide while awaiting trial on the 6th February 1948.

Does anyone have anything to add?
