Illustrated. Stated First American Edition. Ernst Ferdinand Sauerbruch (1875-1951) was a German surgeon who became a member of the Reich Research Council that supported "research projects" of the SS, including experiments on prisoners in the concentration camps. Late in life, he developed dementia and was dismissed from the Charité because he continued to perform surgeries on patients, some with uncertain results. His colleagues detected the errors but were unable to stop him because of his fame and power.
