The site of the German Historical Museum [1] states that Josef Mengele was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment in absentia. Include this in the article? Get-back-world-respect 15:08, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

As there were no comments, I just added it. Get-back-world-respect 23:41, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Sorry for not having seen your question before. I have just removed the reference to Josef Mengele (and the back link in that article, too). The extlink given does not state anything like that, and the trial proceedings from the Mazal library do not indicate that Mengele was tried at all in that trial. He was not included in the indictment, and neither did the tribunal issue any judgment or sentence on him. AFAIK (and that seems to be corroborated by the extlink you gave) Mengele wasn't tried at all. Lupo 15:11, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that the Nazi party as a whole was declared criminal. The SS was.

Totady, I found that by making incorrect link and merging two biographies, someone persistently confuses Dr. Fritz Fischer, the defendant in Doctors' Trial with a historian prof. emeritus Fritz Fischer the author of Griff nach der Weltmacht (1961; tr. Germany’s Aims in the First World War, 1967). I have created separete article about Dr. med. Fritz Fischer and corrected the link in Doctors' Trial article.--fitzner 15:12, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Bruder

I have heard that Dr.Bruder was a witness at the Doctors Trials and am interested in what became of her since 1955 when she was the doctor at my birth (Central Middlesex Hospital) London.


!!!!!!!! GUYS I AM GERMAN AND I HAVE TO SAY SORRY BUT IT IS NOT NUREMBERG! IT IS NUERNBERG OR IF YOU WANT TO USE THE CORRECT GERMAN FORM NÜRNBERG!!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS NOW THIS IS VERY VERY VERY BA

Sheesh. "Nuremberg" is the English name of "Nürnberg". No need to SHOUT. Lupo 22:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prof. Beiglböck

He was originally sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. (See e.G. Landsberg ein Dokumentarischer Bericht, Information Services Division Office of the High Commissioner for Germany, München, no year given. --Bühler 04:18, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Correction

Only 20 of the 23 doctors were medical doctors, not all 23 as previously stated. I came accross this error while working on my Ahnenerbe article. I'm not logged into my account because I'm not at home, so when I make changes I try and put something on the discussion board -Foxhunt King 00:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed that's right, but you got the names wrong. Schröder and Weltz were MDs all right, as stated at de:Nürnberger_Ärzteprozess and as testified by their titles ("Arzt" means MD in German). Lupo 11:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SS as a prerequisite for death sentence

I think the line "Generally, the difference between receiving a prison term and the death sentence was membership of "an organization declared criminal by the judgement of the International Military Tribunal", the SS." is to general and inaccurate.

Out of the 9 members of the SS, 3 are given prison senctences. In my view it is false to say, if you were indicted for being a member of the SS you would be sentenced to death.
