Karl Brunner (physician)
Karl Friedrich Brunner (born January 8, 1908 in Munich , † after 1985) was a German surgeon and SS doctor.
Education and life
Brunner was promoted to Dr. med. PhD. From 1934 to 1936 he worked in the surgical university clinic in Munich under Erich Lexer and in 1937 in the surgical department of the municipal hospital on the right of the Isar . From 1937 he worked as a surgeon in the Hohenlychen sanatorium under Karl Gebhardt , and from January 1939 as senior physician. From August 1939 to 1943 he was in "Army service in a leading position". In September 1943 he was Oberfeldarzt , first assistant medical Hohenlychen and deputy Gebhardt. From August 1942, Gebhardt carried out human experiments with inmates of the Ravensbrück concentration camp . His deputy Brunner was promoted to SS-Obersturmbannführer in 1945 .
In the run-up to the Nuremberg medical trial , Brunner was listed as a possible co-defendant. According to the recollections of Chief Prosecutor Telford Taylor , the tribunal was not prepared carefully enough and the masses of documents were so extensive that chance played a major role. Brunner was not charged. He drafted an affidavit in defense of his former superior, who was sentenced to death and executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity .
From 1948 Brunner was initially a department doctor in the Possenhofen Disabled Hospital under Paul Rostock . From 1950 to 1985 he had his own practice with an accident ambulance and worked in an advisory capacity for professional associations .
