Summary
Hitler's order for the "Aktion T4", which led to 70,000 people being killed.
Picture taken at Nuremberg documentation centre museum.
On Adolf Hitler's personal stationery, the edict reads:
- "Reichsleiter Bouhler und Dr. med. Brandt sind unter Verantwortung beauftragt, die Befugnisse namentlich zu bestimmender Ärzte so zu erweitern, dass nach menschlichem Ermessen unheilbar Kranken bei kritischster Beurteilung ihres Krankheitszustandes der Gnadentod gewährt werden kann. -- A. Hitler"
In English:
- "Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are entrusted with the responsibility of extending the authority of physicians, designated by name, so that patients who, on the basis of human judgment [menschlichem Ermessen], are considered incurable, can be granted mercy death [Gnadentod] after a definitive diagnosis. -- A. Hitler"
The handwritten comment reads: "Von Bouhler mir übergeben am 27.8.40 - Dr. Gürtner" (English: "given to me by Bouhler on 27.8. [August] [19]40; Dr. Gürtner").
Franz Gürtner was Minister for Justice (Reichsjustizminister) from 1932 to his death in 1941. Philipp Bouhler was an SS-Obergruppenführer and leader of Hitler's Chancellery (Kanzlei des Führers; KdF).
