Description
Discusses why the issue of the morality of German doctors involved in mass murder and experiments on human subjects was largely downplayed by the medical profession. The author provides various reasons for this the main one being that American doctors were involved in eugenics and the USA had similar policies and laws regarding miscegenation and euthanasia and prosecuting German doctors could have proved embarrasing.
