Nuremberg Case #1 Doctors Trial

The "Doctor's Trial" aka "Medical Case" charged 24 defendants with the repsonsibility for medical experiments upon concentration camp inmates and other living human subjects, without their consent, in the course which murders, tortures and other inhuman acts were committed.
After almost 140 days of procceedings, inlcuding the testimony of 85 witnesses and submission of almost 150 document, the Tribunal pronounced the verdicts on Aug. 20, 1947. Sixteen of the Doctors were found guilty. Seven were sentenced to death including Karl Brandt and Karl Gebhardt. They were executed on June 28, 1948.

Obeying Orders

Few defendants at any of the trials denied the accusations made against them, and often their own testimony was used to convict them. Otto Ohlendorf, the former commandant of Einsatzgruppe D, was sentenced to death for the murder of about 90,000 Jews, Roma, and Sinti after admitting that he had ordered his men to kill children as well as adults. His defense was simple: he was just following orders. Another defendant, Rudolf Höss, the commandant at Auschwitz, used the same defense. He explained:

“Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. . . . We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody, and somebody else would have done just as well if I hadn’t. . . . I really never gave much thought to whether it was wrong. It just seemed a necessity.”
