Aktion Brandt
Aktion Brandt (Operation Brandt) is an umbrella term for the decentralized killings of sick people in sanatoriums in Nazi Germany.[1] In some institutions, sick people died due to overcrowding and deliberate neglect; in other institutions, the transferred inmates were murdered on a large scale. The action, named after Hitler's doctor and general commissioner for medical and health services Karl Brandt, partially succeeded Aktion T4.
