Colonial Medical Academy of the NSDAP
The colonial medical academy of the NSDAP was a medical training institution of the National Socialist German Workers' Party .
history
Under Adolf Hitler Hamburg was one of the so-called " leader cities " and was supported by the Greater Hamburg Act to metropolis . Germany's “gateway to the world” was also intended to serve the old imperialist claims of the German Reich , which had failed with the German colonies in the First World War . With Hamburg's global reputation in tropical medicine , it made sense to train doctors for colonial service in this city.
The Academy of Medical Training for Maritime and Tropical Medicine was founded on October 15, 1940 in the Friedrichsberg State Hospital . It was named after the Reichsärzteführer Gerhard Wagner during the National Socialist era and is now the Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek . For the targeted colonies in sub-Saharan Africa , the academy should train doctors in particular in disease control . In 1940, Leonardo Conti and Peter Mühlens demanded that the German colonial doctor must be fully trained - including in ethnology and racial theory - and be a staunch National Socialist .
