Adolf Pokorny was born on July 25, 1895 in Vienna, Austria. He was a dermatologist and medical doctor. He was a defendant in the Doctors' Trial.
Pokorny participated from March 1915 to September 1918 in the First World War. He received many medals and was discharged later in the rank of a second lieutenant.
In 1922, he completed his medical doctorate on March 22, 1922 and received his medical license. After two years of clinical training, he opened a practice in Komotau, specializing in skin and sexually transmitted diseases. His application to enter the NSDAP was declined in 1939, because he had been married to a Jewish physician from whom he had been divorced in April 1935.
During World War II, Pokorny worked as a medical officer of the German Armed Forces. Pokorny was tried by the American Military Tribunal No. I (also known as the Doctors' Trial) in August 1947. However, he was acquitted of having participated in compulsory sterilization experiments.
