Last week I went to Bavaria’s largest book market and found a book that I wanted to read for a long time – the 1950 autobiography of Ritterkreuztr\u00e4ger, Generalarzt, Staatsrat, Geheimrat, Prof. Dr. med., Dr. med. h.c. Ferdinand Sauerbruch, emeritus director of the surgical university clinic in Berlin – and found unexpected connections to Sigmund Rascher<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\nSehr interessant war für mich ein Teilgebiet der gesamten Wehr-Medizin: die Luftfahrt-Medizin. Sie erwuchs auf der Grundlage psychologischer Untersuchungen und klinischer Erfahrungen. Es ist aber ganz selbstverst\u00e4ndlich, und man mu\u00df es einmal aussprechen, da\u00df die Forschung wertvollste Anregungen aus der Kriegst\u00e4tigkeit der Sanit\u00e4tsoffiziere gewonnen hat.

\nIch will mich nicht zum sogenannten “\u00c4rzteproze\u00df” in Nürnberg \u00e4u\u00dfern. Ich kann hier nur versichern, da\u00df heute manche \u00c4rzte, die sicher nicht weniger “schuldig” waren, in aller Gemütsruhe ihrer Praxis nachgehen. Ich k\u00f6nnte ein Dutzend Namen nennen, aber das br\u00e4chte die anderen nicht wieder zum Leben, sondern m\u00f6glicherweise nur neue Opfer der so h\u00f6chst zweifelhaften “irdischen Gerechtigkeit”.

Mitscherlich\/ Mielke reported that Sauerbruch attended the “3. Arbeitstagung der beratenden \u00c4rzte” in May 1943 moderated by Karl Gebhardt where experiments from concentration camp Ravenbrück have been reported. According to Klee (Auschwitz, 1997, P 199) Sauerbruch issued a temporary restraining order against Mitscherlich that it had not been known that these experiments were performed on prisoners.<\/p>\n

Reading now about Sauerbruchs’ fascination of the Rascher experiments -valuable contribution- and his speculations about -“guilt”- in quotation marks I think that this attitude can not be atrributed to dementia praecox<\/a> as has been done before.<\/p>\n\n
