In addition to the medical experiments, the nature and purpose of which
have been outlined as alleged, certain of the defendants are charged
with criminal activities involving murder, torture, and ill-treatment of
non-German nationals as follows:
“7. Between June 1943 and September 1944 the defendants Rudolf
Brandt and Sievers * * * were principals in, accessories to,
ordered, abetted, took a consenting part in, and were connected
with plans and enterprises involving the murder of civilians and
members of the armed forces of nations then at war with the
German Reich and who were in the custody of the German Reich in
exercise of belligerent control. One hundred twelve Jews were
selected for the purpose of completing a skeleton collection for
the Reich University of Strasbourg. Their photographs and
anthropological measurements were taken. Then they were killed.
Thereafter, comparison tests, anatomical research, studies
regarding race, pathological features of the body, form and size
of the brain, and other tests were made. The bodies were sent to
Strasbourg and defleshed.
“8. Between May 1942 and January 1944[57] the defendants Blome
and Rudolf Brandt * * * were principals in, accessories to,
ordered, abetted, took a consenting part in, and were connected
with plans and enterprises involving the murder and mistreatment
of tens of thousands of Polish nationals who were civilians and
members of the armed forces of a nation then at war with the
German Reich and who were in the custody of the German Reich in
exercise of belligerent control. These people were alleged to be
infected with incurable tuberculosis. On the ground of insuring
the health and welfare of Germans in Poland, many tubercular
Poles were ruthlessly exterminated while others were isolated in
death camps with inadequate medical facilities.
