    ” More than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions…. valuing conformity and obedience to authority, valuing the prevention of contamination and fighting against mortality-From early on, German Medical Society played a most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program. Given the oath to ‘do no harm’ many postwar ethical analyses have strained to make sense of these paradoxical atrocities..”-(Extract from the International Journal of Law and Psychiatry
    Volume 35, Issues 5–6, September–December 2012, Pages 473-479)

      Leave it to academics (and others who live in ivory towers or in sand from the neck up) to strain to understand this. Physicians, as the quote suggests, are some of the most conformist people on earth. Why wouldn’t they be expected to go along? Not to mention that in the 1930s, eugenics was still The Science. And these doctors “trusted the science,” virtuous fellows that they were!
