Saggy and Little Grey Rabbit have this all tangled up. Of course, there was a program called T4 headed by Bouhler and Brandt, which, beginning with children and expanding to adults in its second stage, was for the extermination of patients who had been deemed incurably ill. But unlike the post from Little Grey Rabbit would have it, T4 and the wild euthanasia were not the same phenomenon. T4, with its medical panels and Tiergartenstrasse 4 staff, was ended in late August 1941 at which time, although officially halted, the euthanasia continued on the individual initiative of doctors in hospitals, thus the appellation "wild." Further, there was a killing program, 14f13, to rid concentration camps of "excess" prisoners, who were "invalided" for the purpose and then taken to killing sites IIRC. 14f13 was put into action by Bouhler in spring 1941, headed by Brack, and utilized many experienced T4 personnel.Originally Posted by little grey rabbit View Post
Well I don't accept the existence of T4. I do think there is a possibility that there was some kind of euthanasia but I can not be certain and the extent of this program I am unsure. But I don't believe so called "wild euthanasia" took place.
I stand corrected. I didn't know there was controversy over the euthanasia program. Although, I'm a bit confused. You don't accept the existence of T4 but you think some sort of euthanasia program might have been implemented? I thought there was sufficient documentation to prove some sort of euthanasia took place. But I know there wasn't any sort of "wild euthanasia" going on like some people would make it out to be.
Instead of fumbling around in the dark making strenuous and incompetent speculation, it would behoove you clowns to make an effort to read about these programs, which have been the subject of numerous scholarly treatments.
