Thus Gerhard was killed by lethal injection on July 25, Having now broken the ice, Hitler and company immediately set into a motion a plan that would call for the killing of the physically and mentally disabled in Germany en masse.

In their estimation, Hitler had only to speak about something generally before some ambitious subordinate would almost instantly cobble together a full-scale program from nothing.

The sudden expansion of the Aktion T4 program would seem to exemplify that notion. Within three weeks of the killing of Gerhard Kretschmar, a fully fleshed-out bureaucracy had sprung into existence and was issuing paperwork to doctors and midwives all over Germany.

These men then put a deadly system into place. Upon the occasion of every birth, an official would have to fill out a form that included a section for describing physical or other observed defects that the child might have.

Three doctors would then review the forms — without any of them actually examining the patient themselves — and mark it with a cross if they thought the child should be killed.

Two-out-of-three crosses were enough to warrant the removal of the child from their home under the guise of helping them get medical attention and then killing them.

Aktion T4 was born. In private, Hitler and other top Nazis were prone to complaining that Britain and America which both had eugenics laws of their own were far ahead of Germany in their efforts to weed out undesirables via euthanasia.

May Whether or not the killing of Gerhard Kretschmar was part of a larger plan, what followed was a massive operation unlike anything the world had ever seen.

By the summer of , hundreds of infants and young children had been removed from homes and healthcare facilities across Germany and were transported to one of six sites: Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein.

These were working asylums, so there was nothing unusual about new patients arriving and being housed in secure wards at first.

Once there, the children would typically be given fatal doses of luminal or morphine. One doctor, Hermann Pfannmüller, made a specialty of gradually starving the children to death.

It was, according to him, a more natural and peaceful way to go than a harsh chemical injection that stopped the heart. On the same visit, Dr.

Gradually, the net was cast wider and wider and the methods of killing became more standardized. High-ranking Nazis took note of this efficient method of killing and later put it to much wider use.

It would be wrong to say they were forever at odds, but the church represented a separate, and largely independent, power system in the heart of what was fast becoming a dictatorship.

Early on, Catholic resistance to the Nazis led to the newly empowered party agreeing to hand over education of German children in Catholic states to the Church, while individual Protestant denominations gradually made their peace with Hitler.

By about , this culture war was dormant. Wikimedia Commons Disabled people are relocated as part of the Aktion T4 program.

Or, it was, until news of the Aktion T4 program broke in No inquiries could be made and no visits were possible. It was inevitable that some families would eventually hear the same story from others and put two and two together, especially when the routine was the same across all six facilities.

Once people got wise, churches led the resistance to the Aktion T4 program by raising awareness, speaking out, and even distributing leaflets that brought the matter to the attention of many Germans for the first time.
