- English abstract
- This paper considers a neglected Austrian aspect of German wartime medical research and the Nuremberg Medical tribunal. Wilhelm Beiglböck was the only one of the 23 defendants brought to trial as the result of civil police action. In 1946 Dachau survivors alerted the Austrian state police that Wilhelm Beiglböck had conducted fatal experiments in Dachau. The investigations uncovered the involvement of the celebrated internist Hans Eppinger of the Vienna Medical Faculty, and led to the arrest of Beiglböck in Lienz in the British zone of occupation. Beiglböck was transferred to Nuremberg by the British in September 1946.
