In many respects the accused Schilling was the most reprehensible. He
voluntarily came to Dachau fully cognizant of the nature of the work he
intended to perform. Being the educated and learned person that he was,
Schilling undoubtedly must have realized the manner in which his work
suited the needs of the Nazis. Although his personal motives may have
stemmed from his desire to aid humanity, he permitted himself to utilize
Nazi methods in contrast to other eminent German artists and scientists
who either fled or refused to make themselves a part of the Nazi system.
It is believed that the sentence of the Court, which was aware of
Schilling’s position in the scientific world, should be approved.
