[edit] Pardon

The category Category:Pardon recipients keeps being added to this article. As it stands now, there is nothing in the article about a pardon being granted, either during his life or posthumously after execution. Obviously, for the category to be there, we need some information on a pardon being granted. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I assume it was added in relation to "He was convicted and sentenced to death, although he was released in March of 1945 due to the Nazi shortage of doctors.", not the Nuremberg trials. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 00:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I see. A pardon is a changing of the conviction to "not guilty". It's possible to be released after conviction as a result of a sentence being changed. In other words, you can be released due to a change in your sentence but not pardoned. We would need more information on whether the Nazis actually pardoned him or just reduced or eliminated his sentence. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Useless eaters?

"He was also involved in Nazi euthenasia programs, during which people who were considered useless eaters were killed, along with Jewish people who were considered unfit for work."

Someone seems to have had a bit of fun with this article. Tchernobog —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.185.105 (talk) 19:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
