In the proceedings 14 f 13, the consideration of the disease was
not the main thing.
Here there is talk about “special treatment 14 f 13”; it has
nothing to do with euthanasia but is extermination. (_NO-158,
Pros. Ex. 410._)
Correspondence of the Main Economic and Administration Office
with the concentration camp Gross-Rosen. (_1234-PS, Pros. Ex.
555._) Only special treatment is mentioned. The word
“euthanasia” nowhere appears.
_Examination._ The fact that the Mauthausen concentration camp is
mentioned as a place of execution, which was not empowered to carry out
the euthanasia within the framework of the order of 1 September 1939,
shows the arbitrariness of the “action.” It must be assumed that Himmler
included Bernburg, favorably situated to him, in the exercise of his own
full powers. The difference in the examination according to the
directions and according to the proceedings applied in the concentration
camp is shown in the correspondence of Mennecke.
