SS DOCTORS

#2

Post by David Brown » 27 Apr 2003, 21:47

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you but my list contains 23 who were tried.

Hermann Becker-Freysing - 20 years
Wilhelm Beigelbock - 15 years
Kurt Blome - Acquitted
Victor Brack - Death
Karl Brandt - Death
Rudolf Brandt - Death
Fritz Fischer - Life Imprisonment
Karl Gebhardt - Death
Karl Genzken - Life Imprisonment
Siegfied Handloser - Life Imprisonment
Waldemar Hoven - Death
Joachim Mrugowsky- Death
Herta Oberheuser - 20 years (the only female amongst the defendants)
Adolf Pokorny - Acquitted
Helmut Poppendick - 10 years
Hans Wolfgang Romberg - Acquitted
Gerhard Rose - Life Imprisonment
Paul Rostock - Acquitted
Siegfried Ruff - Acquitted
Konrad Schafer - Acquitted
Oskar Schroder - Life Imprisonment
Wolfram Sievers - Death
Georg August Welz - Acquitted

This is not a complete list. Noteable absences being Josef Mengele and Oskar "PAPA" Kaduk. The latter earned his nickname at his trial in 1964.

He gave children in his care at Auschwitz brightly coloured balloons the moment the child took the ballon Kaduk would strike the child in the chest with a hypodermic needle and pump phenol directly into the childs heart.

He earned a special commendation from Himmler for his work rate, killing an average of ten children every minute.

I hope you find this helpful.

SS physicians

Post by Warren Thompson » 28 Apr 2003, 02:19

Per the list provided by David Brown above, please note that neither Rudolf Brandt nor Wolfram Sievers were physicians, though they were tried and convicted at the "Doctors' Trial" in Nuremberg. Brandt (no relation to fellow-accused Karl Brandt) was a "personal assistant" to Himmler and administered some of the medical experiments at KZ Dachau. Sievers was the "business manager" of the Ahnenerbe and was instrumental in procuring live bodies for a skeleton collection for one of the medical researchers at the University of Strasburg in Alsace.

Here are some SS doctors who have not already been mentioned:

Dr. Carl Clauberg (1898-1957) - Nazi doctor who worked with Horst Schumann in gruesome X-ray sterilization experiments at Auschwitz. Clauberg was known as a crass man who was despised by practically everyone but Heinrich Himmler. In 1945, Clauberg fell into the hands of the Soviets who imprisoned him as a war criminal until 1955. He bragged about his "scientific achievements" in West Germany and was soon re-arrested. He died of a heart attack in his cell in 1957, before his trial could start.

Dr. Ernst Robert Grawitz (1899-1945) - Grawitz was the chief doctor of the entire SS and held the rank of SS-Obergruppenfuehrer. He recommended the use of gas chambers to Himmler and was administratively responsible for the gruesome experiments at all concentration camps. In 1945, he committed suicide by pulling the pins of two grenades while eating dinner with his family, blowing them all to kingdom come.

Dr. Werner Heyde (1902-1964) - SS-Standartenfuehrer, responsible for implementing euthanasia from 1939 to 1942, also had a team of psychiatrists who went to concentration camps and studied the Jewish inmates. Heyde testified at the Doctors' Trial at Nuremberg after the war, but then he assumed a false name and set up practice in West Germany. In 1959, he confessed who he really was to the police and he was arrested. In 1962, an indictment was filed against him, and just days before his trial was to begin, he committed suicide in his cell on February 13, 1964.

Dr. Sigmund Rascher (1909-1945) - Chief of the Ahnenerbe, conducted horrific experiments on prisoners at Dachau such as hypothermia experiments which caused the deaths of 300 people. He also conducted high altitude experiments and split the skulls of the heads of Jews to examine their brains, and this is while they were still completely conscious! Himmler arrested Rascher after Himmler discovered he had kidnapped babies in a scheme to demonstrate that his wife had children at age 51. Rascher was executed by the SS on the orders of Himmler in 1945.

Dr. Horst Schumann (1906-1983) - Clauberg's partner in crime at Auschwitz, conducting X-ray experiments on patients with Clauberg. Schumann was also the first of these infamous doctors to buy into National Socialism. Schumann fled after the war and was finally extradited from Ghana in 1966. But his trial was halted after he was found to have high blood pressure and was released on those grounds.

Dr. Leonardo Conti (1900-1945) - Reich Health Leader (1939-1944), he was also the chief of the euthanasia program before Werner Heyde, Conti had a role in experiments in concentration camps too, being the Reich Health Leader. In 1944, Dr. Karl Brandt replaced him. In 1945, the Allies arrested him, but he succeeded in strangling himself to death with his shirt in his cell on October 6, 1945. His reasons for suicide seemed to be that he feared that his role as one of the chief implementers in the medical experiments at concentration camps would be discovered and that he had lied under oath.

Dr. Eduard Wirths (1909-1945) - Chief doctor at Auschwitz, specialized in studying the pre-cancerous condition of the cervix. He committed suicide after being arrested by the British in 1945.

Dr. Fritz Klein (1888-1945) - One of the worst SS doctors, he was one of the only two doctors who enjoyed making selections at Auschwitz and was present at most of them, like Mengele. In 1944, Klein was transferred to Bergen-Belsen where he gave people death injections. He was put on trial by the British along with about 50 members of the Bergen-Belsen staff and he was executed with commandant Josef Kramer on December 13, 1945.

Dr. Hans Eisele (1912-1967) - Eisele was a doctor at Buchenwald who performed vivisections. Not only that, he forced inmates to vomit so he could observe. He also performed many gruesome experiments in which he amputated people's limbs and then killed them. About 300 people died as the result of his treatment. A U.S Military court condemned Eisele to death after the war, but his sentence was soon commuted to 10 years imprisonment and he was released in 1952.

Dr. Erwin Ding-Schuler (1912-1945) - Erwin Ding-Schuler was involved in typhus experiments, and experimented on at least 500 people, 200 died. In 1945, the U.S army arrested Ding-Schuler, but he committed suicide in captivity.

Dr. August Hirt (1898-1945) - Professor at the University of Strasbourg, SS-Hauptsturmfuehrer who specialized in studying the skulls of "Jew-Bolshevik commissars", which were delivered to him by Wolfram Sievers, who had them killed or killed the people himself. Hirt also was involved in lacing the salt of certain prisoners' food with cyanide at Auschwitz so their skulls could also be brought in for examination. Hirt left the University of Strasbourg in 1945, claiming that he would never be taken alive, and he was right; he committed suicide on June 2, 1945.

8) where can i find more reading or visual about the training,selection,education,of the ss doctors,who oversaw the work,and what proof exists of the experiments,written by themselves,colleages,or taken from survivors.any photos captured,which i would think would still be classified. i did once access the fbi file on dr morrell,hitlers treating doctor,and it had been very heavily edited,but still a good read. :wink: interesting topic this one most medicos are intelligent,caring people,so not all ss doctors could have been so cruel?.waht happened to the ones who did not work in camps,did any go to great works or later recognition? 8)

Another, SS-Standartenführer Dr. Enno Lolling

I also came across a man named Dr. Maudas (don't have a first name) who worked on sterilization experiments at Auschwitz. His procedure involved hitting the individuals with radioactive X rays to sterilize them while they sat unknowingly in a chair. I'm not sure if he was in the SS.
